In this lecture, Dr. Suarez uses developments in a variety of disciplines--art history, museum studies, natural history, and even recent trends in education--to enrich understanding of how digital surrogates can and cannot serve as adequate substitutes for printed books. Recognizing that the digital environment is changing the shape of human inquiry and, hence, the structures of human knowledge, Suarez approaches the world of surrogates both as a bibliographer/book historian and as an editor of digital texts.
