            • Documenting the reinvention of text: the importance of imperfection, doubt, and failure

            • The title of this conference-"Transformations of the Book"-has already been called into question here, and it is an instance of the rhetorical trope that has come to characterize much of what we say, write, and read about the subject of electronic text, the World-Wide Web, and information technology in general: the trope is one of change, invention, evolution, with overtones of progress and improvement, and with undertones of inevitability and universality. We meet this trope in mass-media news and advertising about computers and communications, in the promotional literature of our educational institutions, in scholarly books and articles about hypertext and digital libraries, and in grant proposals for electronic scholarly projects which aim, or claim, to break new ground, undertake pilot projects, provide models for the future.
