Summary "Workshop on Electronic Texts: Proceedings" edited by James Daly is a scientific publication documenting discussions and presentations from a conference held in the early 1990s. The book captures the collaborative exploration of methodologies for digitizing, preserving, and presenting historical textual materials and images, focusing on the implications of electronic texts for scholarship, usability, and technology in library sciences. The opening of this work sets the stage for a gathering at the Library of Congress where diverse stakeholders shared their insights and experiences related to electronic texts. The introduction highlights the themes of the workshop, including imaging, conversion techniques, and the challenges of copyright, while emphasizing the ongoing evolution of scholarly communication due to technological advancements. It outlines the concerns about quality versus quantity in digitization efforts, the need for standards in electronic texts, and the importance of understanding user requirements in an evolving digital landscape.
