Ann Blair examines the historical roots of information overload, tracing the methods scholars used to manage burgeoning knowledge from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment. By analyzing the development of reference tools like indices, commonplace books, and bibliographies, the text illustrates how early modern intellectuals navigated the challenges of an expanding print culture long before the digital age.
