Five-Year Information Format Trends by the OCLC Library & Information Center, report prepared for OCLC Members Council.
- A shift in new unit production of traditional and scholarly materials from paper-only to a combination of paper, print-on-demand (POD) and electronic versions is evident in the developed world. Annual production rates of electronic-only formats are growing faster than their paper only counterparts. Additionally, the 2007 forecasts suggest even stronger shifts.On the more distant horizon, print-on-demand is likely to increase and bears watchingTraditional information formats are not going away.New Web sites are not likely to continue to be created at current or recent growth rates. But, the number of objects (both text and graphic) expected to populate current sites is predicted to grow exponentially.Digitization, although the most difficult area to quantify with respect to total worldwide production volume, may emerge as the most significant new format trend by 2007. New funding, imaging technology, marketing and patron appeal will likely fuel expansion faster than other categories.
