Der vorliegende Beitrag resümiert die Ergebnisse eines gemeinsamen Projekts der Britischen Akademie und der Forschungsabteilung der Britischen Bibliothek zur Anwendung von Informationstechnologien in den Humanwissenschaften.

'The British Academy and the British Library Research convened the Humanities Information Review Panel in April 1990. The Panel's brief was to examine all aspects of the generation, storage, and use of information in the humanities, and to look especially at the new methods of handling information provided by the use of computers, telecommunications, and other associated technologies.
