Notes:
According to Barron’s dictionary of computer terms “a virtual machine is a computer that does not physically exist, but rather is simulated by another computer.”
Now, Imagine a library in which you never speak to a librarian, but you get the information you need almost instantaneously! Visualize a library in which you can look for information in several locations around the country simultaneously! Imagine a library where you can view the full contents of a book, and print it out at your desktop or cut and paste portions into your research notes. Without leaving your work environment you can; peruse a magazine, request materials and do literature searches.
