contents The Child, the Book, and the Internet. Hunt, Peter Change Childhood Interests Childrens Literature Foreign Countries Futures (of Society) Internet Library Role Periodicals Problems Reading Habits Reading Interests Technological Advancement This paper focuses on book-centered and "non-book" children and the role of the Internet in changing literature and children's reading habits. Highlights include diversity in children's books; differing magazine readership across the continents; the concept of narrative; the problem of book-centered children becoming outsiders in a more technology-oriented environment; the "classics" and literary standards; changes brought about by computers; and the evolution of a new female-dominated "intermedia" era. It is suggested that the role of the library may either become that of the archive or that of the interstices of the net, the facilitator, the traffic police. (AEF)
