Abstract

This article identifies and defines some of the more commonly used terms and phrases which have been used to describe the evolving online/electronic/virtual/digital library phenomenon. Includes examination of findings from the authors’ examination of selected keywords increasingly found in the literature of both library and information science as well as in the literature of computer science, within the context of a (1970‐1997) bibliographic search for these terms in library literature, INSPEC, and EI COMPENDEX.
