For the next several centuries, this state of affairs has remained intact. Libraries all over the world still contain these records, where they remain mostly inaccessible. There has been no incentive to change the status quo, since no appreciably better method has existed, yet.

What do chemists most want to do with the data they collect? The answer still remains: quickly search, display, and communicate information developed.
