- Since the beginning of the 20th century, the development of new methods in the field of library and information science have been characterised by the influence of electronic data processing. The new services were corresponding with the latest technological innovations: beginning with literature search based on magnetic tapes and the development of magnetic drums and magnetic disks led to online-hosts which are still an important part of library services. Beginning with the 1960s, publishers of printed indexes began to use data processing in order to compile the indexes automatically and aggregate them quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. At the same time, NASA contracted the company Lockheed with the development of a technical documentation in order to prepare the landing on the moon. As a by-product of these activities, magnetic tapes occurred that could be searched sequentially. In Austria, the Institute for Automatic Documentation in Graz developed own database programs. At the end of the 1960s, the content of these tapes was inverted and divided into linear and inverse data. These databases could be retrieved externally via data cables. Dialog, a department of Lockheed, became independent, provided services for external clients, and established additional hosts. In 1975, the first U.S. libraries began to use this service, and in 1978 Austrian libraries became clients. The information agencies at these libraries were the only places at the universities with online access to the databases. Beginning with 1988, CD-ROM databases entered the market; beginning with 1995 they were also represented in the World Wide Web. 1997 was the starting year for publishers' platforms (Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, etc.), where the content was documented and full texts could be downloaded. Libraries and information centres have used them increasingly.
