	abstract = {In this article, Thomas Peck discusses the emergence of Early English Books Online (EEBO). Peck begins by briefly describing the evolution of the database from microfilm to a digital resource. Next, Peck focuses in on some of the basic principles or goals grounding the EEBO project, namely, the standardization of records, the efficiency of searching, the usability of the interface, and the fostering of partnerships with scholarly institutions. Peck also illuminates some of the technical aspects of producing this digital database by discussing the scanning process. Peck notes that EEBO is built from the microfilms and not the original documents. Finally, Peck rounds off the article by discussing how EEBO brings "literature alive for students."},
