The Power of the New Microcomputers: Challenge and Opportunity.

Rumsey, Eric

College and Research Libraries, v51 n2 p95-99 Mar 1990

Describes current developments in microcomputer technology, including CD-ROM, the 80386 microprocessor, and the graphic user interface. It is argued that, as the information handling capacity of microcomputers increases, the microcomputer industry will increasingly market information to end users, and the library will be challenged to provide the same ease of access.
