"Form Follows Function: Reflection on the Architecture of the
Printed Book
as the Key to its Future in the Electronic Environment"
Thursday, May 25, 2000
1:30-3:00 p.m.
Room 109 GSLIS Building
At the close of the 20th century, it became clear that the structure of the electronic database affords much more efficient information storage and retrieval than can be achieved using printed matter, and the World Wide Web offers unparalleled possibilities for the rapid transmission of text and image. Nonetheless, those who predict the end of print culture forget that other functions of the printed book have not yet been seriously challenged.
Using an architectural metaphor, this speaker will analyze the physical and spatial aspects of the printed book and conclude that its survival will be ensured because its format facilitates certain uses of text in a way that cannot be duplicated by electronic media.
