新兴的全球信息基础设施（GII）是否会引发一场与古滕贝格所引发的通信革命相当的革命，或者其结果仅仅是现有行为和机构对新媒体的进化适应？全球信息基础设施是否会改善所有人获取信息的机会？它会取代图书馆和出版商吗？如何使计算机和信息系统更易于使用？在为用户群体定制信息系统和将其标准化以与为其他群体、文化和语言设计的系统互连之间，有哪些权衡？
本书将仔细研究这些问题以及围绕全球信息基础设施的技术、行为和政策等问题。涵盖的主题包括数字图书馆的设计和使用;电子出版的行为和制度方面;图书馆不断发展的作用;创建，使用和寻求信息的生命周期;以及信息技术的采用和适应。这本书采取了以人为本的观点，重点是全球信息基础设施如何融入它应该受益的人们的日常生活。
以一种独特的整体方法来获取信息，这本书借鉴了计算机科学，通信，图书馆和信息科学，信息政策，商业，经济学，法律，政治学，社会学，历史，教育，档案和博物馆研究的研究和实践。它探讨了国内和国际问题。作者自己的实证研究是补充广泛的文献综述和分析。

Will the emerging global information infrastructure (GII) create a revolution in communication equivalent to that wrought by Gutenberg, or will the result be simply the evolutionary adaptation of existing behavior and institutions to new media? Will the GII improve access to information for all? Will it replace libraries and publishers? How can computers and information systems be made easier to use? What are the trade-offs between tailoring information systems to user communities and standardizing them to interconnect with systems designed for other communities, cultures, and languages?
This book takes a close look at these and other questions of technology, behavior, and policy surrounding the GII. Topics covered include the design and use of digital libraries; behavioral and institutional aspects of electronic publishing; the evolving role of libraries; the life cycle of creating, using, and seeking information; and the adoption and adaptation of information technologies. The book takes a human-centered perspective, focusing on how well the GII fits into the daily lives of the people it is supposed to benefit.
Taking a unique holistic approach to information access, the book draws on research and practice in computer science, communications, library and information science, information policy, business, economics, law, political science, sociology, history, education, and archival and museum studies. It explores both domestic and international issues. The author's own empirical research is complemented by extensive literature reviews and analyses.
