More than 27,000 libraries in 65 countries use OCLC services to manage their collections and to provide on-line reference services. The site is available in English, Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. From its headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, OCLC operates one of the world's largest library information networks.
Malti Djallan, who is at the origin of this Reporters sans frontières initiative, explained: "By putting La Nation on-line, our goal was to say: it no longer makes sense to censor the newspapers in Algeria, because thanks to the Internet people can retrieve the articles, print them, and spread them out around."
At present, electronic publishing and "traditional" publishing such as on-line bookstores and "traditional" bookstores, or cyberlibraries and "traditional" libraries are complementary.
Contrary to some claims, cyberspace is not formally a place or jurisdiction separate from Earth. While governments should respect the rules and customs that have arisen in cyberspace, and should not stifle this new world with inefficient regulation or censorship, it is foolish to say that the public has no sovereignty over what an errant citizen or fraudulent corporation does on-line.
Currently, while I can find out about books on-line, I need to get the books into my hands to use them. I would rather access them on-line and copy sections that I need for my work, whereas today I either have to photocopy relevant pages, or scan them in, etc. I expect that soon I will use the Internet for video telephoning, and that will be a happy development.
These periodicals will be not just from the holdings of this library, but the project would be coordinated here, and some of the technical would be done here, also." Projekt Gutenberg-DE is a German digital library created in 1994 because there were very few German texts on the Web. Texts are organized for reading on-line with longer works divided into chapters.
"The responses revealed that in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and France there were on average three employees, that is journalists, in each on-line service. These were newly employed people who had not originally come from more conventional newspaper activities.
I get all the articles and I put them on-line during the night from my house." The press review is prepared using the newspapers of Algiers, Algeria. In the same article, Mohamed Zaoui explained: "The editorial staff of El Watan, for example, sends us articles which cannot be published there. It is a way to confound censorship.
In his e-mail to me of September 2, 1998, John Mark Ockerbloom explained how the site began: "I was the original Webmaster here at CMU CS, and started our local Web in 1993. So that's how my index got started. But I hope to keep up my on-line books works in some form or another."
Some texts or magazines are available on-line only. More and more newspapers and magazines have a website on which their readers can find the full text or abstracts of the latest issue, archives giving access to the previous issues, dossiers on various topics, etc. More and more library catalogs are available on-line.
