Visual information is becoming more and more important in modern communication. Whereas an ever increasing number of pictures is being produced, their management and control lags far behind. Until very recently, the limits of a professional picture collection of stills with direct online access were marked by a few hundred, or a few thousand at most. However, new technologies and new media, particularly developments in laser and compact disc technology, have considerably extended these limits and are establishing new frontiers. Electronic picture banks with collections of one million items or more are now catching the imagination of thousands of picture professionals, covering potential users as well as providers of electronic picture bank services. But picture collections of this type and size pose new and unprecedented problems of access and management, not only on the technical and visual levels but also in terms of language and effective social communication. The manner in which these problems are interlinked is explained, and suggestions are made as to how some of them may be overcome.
