Documents that Changed the Way We Live looks at fifty stories, each of which describes a document, its creation and motivation, influence, importance, historical and social context, its provenance and how it got to where it is now (if still extant), and connections to contemporary information objects, technologies, and trends.

Designed to assist beginning searchers, whether they are students or practitioners, this text offers a comprehensive introduction to online systems that primarily provide information in the form of bibliographic citations.
