I take it that the purpose of having say "Moby Dick" in electronic form is
for text searching purposes and not reading purposes. Is that a correct
assumption on my part ?

Thanks (again) to Barry Shein and OBI! (we got our Moby Dick from them).
In regards to the difference between those reporting on ALA versus ASIS,
I would have to agree with both of them. . .the people at ALA (and state
LA's) have been much less happy with computers and networks than those a
person meets at national and local ASIS meetings.
Thanks also to those who are making this a great discussion.
Thank you for your interest,
