He was online in the pre-Internet days of the early 70&rsquo;s when &ldquo;online&rdquo; meant one or more databases mounted on a big IBM mainframe computer, accessed over a leased phone line or by dial-up. He was there at the beginning, as marketing director of the <i>New York Times </i>Information Bank, the 1971 precursor of the paper&rsquo;s current web version. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoPageNumber"><span>&nbsp;</span></span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><span>In 1976, he had a moment of inspiration and realized that the online industry had no magazine. With his wife, Jenny, a couple of door tables in their bedroom and credit from a local printer, <i>ONLINE</i> magazine was born. Jeff and Jenny went on to found four other magazines and produced numerous conferences and seminars for online searchers.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoPageNumber"><span>&nbsp;</span></span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><i><span>ONLINE&rsquo;</span></i></span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><span>s readers were business and sci-tech librarians who had been the early adopters of the first online databanks: DIALOG, ORBIT, LEXUS-NEXUS, MedLine and the <i>Times</i>&rsquo; Infobank.
