Information Sources:  the Internet and Computer-Mediated Communication
========================================================================

WHO
===
   Compiled by John December (decemj@rpi.edu)

WHEN
====
   The internet-cmc project last update: 22 Jan 94.

WHERE
=====
   Anonymous ftp Host: ftp.rpi.edu; File: pub/communications/internet-cmc.readme

WHAT 
====
   This file (internet-cmc.readme) describes files relating to my project 
   to list information sources related to the Internet and Computer-Mediated 
   Communication.

   The purpose of my project is to list pointers to information describing 
   the Internet, computer networks, and issues related to computer-mediated 
   communication (CMC).  Topics include the technical, social, cognitive, 
   and psychological aspects of computer networking and applications of CMC.    

   Comments always welcome. 

WHY 
===
   I've gathered this information because I'm working on a PhD dealing 
   with CMC and the use of the Internet.  I'm sharing this information because
   I feel it belongs to the network community, for free, because that is 
   where and how I got it.  If my effort is worth something to you, I'm
   glad.  Just cite me or acknowledge my work, and preserve my copyright
   statement.  If you have a commercial project or publication idea, 
   I'm interested, as long as this information and updates can remain 
   available on the net for free.

   In preparing this list, I first developed an ASCII file version, 
   internet-cmc.  However, I have recognized the need for this information
   to be more amenable for entry into other information systems, so I have
   developed a file tagged with identifier information (internet-cmc.dat).


HOW YOU CAN HELP ME 
===================
   1.  Tell me of any errors in this document.
       ---------------------------------------
       I try to do a complete re-check of the information in this document
       for the .00 releases---this is a monumental task.  So if a link 
       is old, I might not get to it for a while.  Let me know if you 
       have problems with any source, and feel free to suggest new ones. 

   2.  Tell me why you are using the Internet.
       ---------------------------------------
       I'm doing research on why people use the Internet.  Send me
       (decemj@rpi.edu) an email note with the subject line 
       "Why I Use the Internet" describing why you use (or don't
       like to use) the Internet.  This is not a scientific sampling, 
       but your free-form answer to this question can help me to devise
       a future survey instrument.  Tell me about what attracted you
       to use the Internet in the first place and why you continue 
       using the network.  What do you find on it that holds your 
       interest (or is repulsive to you)?  In other words, tell
       me---in a way that makes sense to you and using your own
       terms---why you use the Internet.

   3.  Let me know where you see/find out about my internet-cmc files.
       ---------------------------------------------------------------
       I'd like to know from where in the network my internet-cmc
       files have traveled.  Below are access points that
       someone has already informed me about.  If you encounter 
       any of my internet-cmc files in a place other than those
       listed below, please send me an email note with the 
       subject line "Use report" and tell me the source.  Thanks.

   File                 Explanation
   -------------------- ------------------------------------------------
   internet-cmc.readme  this file

   internet-cmc.dat     the `raw data' file for other internet-cmc files,
                        tagged according to the KEY, described below.

   internet-cmc         a human-readable (wide column) version which can be 
                        manipulated or reformatted using Unix scripts;
                        some scripts are suggested in this file itself.

   internet-cmc.txt     a human-readable version which stays in 80-columns;
                        useful for reading as static text (printed or 
                        online), but not as useful for scanning and
                        reformatting as internet-cmc

   internet-cmc.tex     the LaTeX version (source)

   internet-cmc.ps.Z    the compressed PostScript version

   internet-cmc.html    the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) version
                        Thanks to Kevin Hughes (kevinh@pulua.hcc.hawaii.edu) 
                        for developing an early version of the software to 
			convert internet-cmc.dat to internet-cmc.html. 
                        Link to this file with the URL:
			ftp://ftp.rpi.edu/pub/communications/internet-cmc.html

   internet-cmc.dvi     the device-independent (binary) version  
 
   internet-cmc.gif 	The graphics image that I use in the .html
			version.

   internet-cmc.bib     This is a selected listing of items related to 
   			Computer-Mediated Communication, the Internet, 
			and network information infrastructure and use.

   The source code for translating internet-cmc.dat into its various 
   formats is available on request.

USE
===
   Basically, 
      o internet-cmc.ps looks best for reading on static paper.
      o internet-cmc.txt is good if you want the 80-column constraint (other
        wise, it seems a bit awkward to read with all the continuations).
      o internet-cmc is great for manipulating with Unix scripts.
      o internet-cmc.html is useful in a WWW server;
        Connect to URL:

CRAM: the Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement

In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and
as a service to motivated information compilers, I 
(L. Detweiler) will help others unfamiliar with Usenet 
`publish' their documents for widespread dissemination via the 
FAQ structure, and act as a `sponsor' knowledgable in the 
submissions process. This document is being distributed under
this arrangement.

I have found these compilations tend to appear on various 
mailing lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider 
distribution. If you know of an existing compilation of 
Internet information that is not currently a FAQ, please 
contact me and I may `sponsor' it. The benefits to the author 
include:

- use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
  - automated mail server service
  - FTP archival
  - automated posting

- a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy,
  and coverage of the document enormously through email 
  feedback

- potential professional inquiries for the use of your 
  document in other settings, such as newsletters, books, 
  etc.

- with me as your sponsor, I will also take care of the 
  technicalities in the proper format of the posted version 
  and updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' 
  to focus on the basic updates alone

Send comments relating to the *distribution* of this document
(particularly relevant newsgroups not currently covered in
its current distribution) or inquiries on other documents to
<ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu>. 

The choice of who I `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always
have the option of handling the submission process yourself. 
See the FAQ submission guidelines FAQ in news.answers.

* Section -5- SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY
===============================================================================
This section lists useful information sources. For the sake of
compactness, the book list here is short. For longer lists, see
the online or paper bibliographies available. I've prepared a list
of many books and article readings in CMC and computer networking.
That file is the CMC December bibliography, listed below.

Information Sources:  the Internet and Computer-Mediated Communication
========================================================================

WHO
===
   Compiled by John December (decemj@rpi.edu)

WHEN
====
   The internet-cmc project last update: 22 Jan 94.

WHERE
=====
   Anonymous ftp Host: ftp.rpi.edu; File: pub/communications/internet-cmc.readme

WHAT 
====
   This file (internet-cmc.readme) describes files relating to my project 
   to list information sources related to the Internet and Computer-Mediated 
   Communication.

   The purpose of my project is to list pointers to information describing 
   the Internet, computer networks, and issues related to computer-mediated 
   communication (CMC).  Topics include the technical, social, cognitive, 
   and psychological aspects of computer networking and applications of CMC.    

   Comments always welcome. 

WHY 
===
   I've gathered this information because I'm working on a PhD dealing 
   with CMC and the use of the Internet.  I'm sharing this information because
   I feel it belongs to the network community, for free, because that is 
   where and how I got it.  If my effort is worth something to you, I'm
   glad.  Just cite me or acknowledge my work, and preserve my copyright
   statement.  If you have a commercial project or publication idea, 
   I'm interested, as long as this information and updates can remain 
   available on the net for free.

   In preparing this list, I first developed an ASCII file version, 
   internet-cmc.  However, I have recognized the need for this information
   to be more amenable for entry into other information systems, so I have
   developed a file tagged with identifier information (internet-cmc.dat).


HOW YOU CAN HELP ME 
===================
   1.  Tell me of any errors in this document.
       ---------------------------------------
       I try to do a complete re-check of the information in this document
       for the .00 releases---this is a monumental task.  So if a link 
       is old, I might not get to it for a while.  Let me know if you 
       have problems with any source, and feel free to suggest new ones. 

   2.  Tell me why you are using the Internet.
       ---------------------------------------
       I'm doing research on why people use the Internet.  Send me
       (decemj@rpi.edu) an email note with the subject line 
       "Why I Use the Internet" describing why you use (or don't
       like to use) the Internet.  This is not a scientific sampling, 
       but your free-form answer to this question can help me to devise
       a future survey instrument.  Tell me about what attracted you
       to use the Internet in the first place and why you continue 
       using the network.  What do you find on it that holds your 
       interest (or is repulsive to you)?  In other words, tell
       me---in a way that makes sense to you and using your own
       terms---why you use the Internet.

   3.  Let me know where you see/find out about my internet-cmc files.
       ---------------------------------------------------------------
       I'd like to know from where in the network my internet-cmc
       files have traveled.  Below are access points that
       someone has already informed me about.  If you encounter 
       any of my internet-cmc files in a place other than those
       listed below, please send me an email note with the 
       subject line "Use report" and tell me the source.  Thanks.

FILES
=====
   Here are the files available:

   Anonymous ftp Host: ftp.rpi.edu; Directory: pub/communications/

   File                 Explanation
   -------------------- ------------------------------------------------
   internet-cmc.readme  this file

   internet-cmc.dat     the `raw data' file for other internet-cmc files,
                        tagged according to the KEY, described below.

   internet-cmc         a human-readable (wide column) version which can be 
                        manipulated or reformatted using Unix scripts;
                        some scripts are suggested in this file itself.

   internet-cmc.txt     a human-readable version which stays in 80-columns;
                        useful for reading as static text (printed or 
                        online), but not as useful for scanning and
                        reformatting as internet-cmc

   internet-cmc.tex     the LaTeX version (source)

   internet-cmc.ps.Z    the compressed PostScript version

   internet-cmc.html    the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) version
                        Thanks to Kevin Hughes (kevinh@pulua.hcc.hawaii.edu) 
                        for developing an early version of the software to 
			convert internet-cmc.dat to internet-cmc.html. 
                        Link to this file with the URL:
			ftp://ftp.rpi.edu/pub/communications/internet-cmc.html

   internet-cmc.dvi     the device-independent (binary) version  
 
   internet-cmc.gif 	The graphics image that I use in the .html
			version.

   internet-cmc.bib     This is a selected listing of items related to 
   			Computer-Mediated Communication, the Internet, 
			and network information infrastructure and use.

   The source code for translating internet-cmc.dat into its various 
   formats is available on request.

USE
===
   Basically, 
      o internet-cmc.ps looks best for reading on static paper.
      o internet-cmc.txt is good if you want the 80-column constraint (other
        wise, it seems a bit awkward to read with all the continuations).
      o internet-cmc is great for manipulating with Unix scripts.
      o internet-cmc.html is useful in a WWW server;
        Connect to URL:
	ftp://ftp.rpi.edu/pub/communications/internet-cmc.html

CRAM: the Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement

In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and
as a service to motivated information compilers, I 
(L. Detweiler) will help others unfamiliar with Usenet 
`publish' their documents for widespread dissemination via the 
FAQ structure, and act as a `sponsor' knowledgable in the 
submissions process. This document is being distributed under
this arrangement.

I have found these compilations tend to appear on various 
mailing lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider 
distribution. If you know of an existing compilation of 
Internet information that is not currently a FAQ, please 
contact me and I may `sponsor' it. The benefits to the author 
include:

- use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
  - automated mail server service
  - FTP archival
  - automated posting

- a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy,
  and coverage of the document enormously through email 
  feedback

- potential professional inquiries for the use of your 
  document in other settings, such as newsletters, books, 
  etc.

- with me as your sponsor, I will also take care of the 
  technicalities in the proper format of the posted version 
  and updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' 
  to focus on the basic updates alone

Send comments relating to the *distribution* of this document
(particularly relevant newsgroups not currently covered in
its current distribution) or inquiries on other documents to
<ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu>. 

The choice of who I `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always
have the option of handling the submission process yourself. 
See the FAQ submission guidelines FAQ in news.answers.

Information Sources:  the Internet and Computer-Mediated Communication
========================================================================

WHO
===
   Compiled by John December (decemj@rpi.edu)

WHEN
====
   The internet-cmc project last update: 22 Jan 94.

WHERE
=====
   Anonymous ftp Host: ftp.rpi.edu; File: pub/communications/internet-cmc.readme

WHAT 
====
   This file (internet-cmc.readme) describes files relating to my project 
   to list information sources related to the Internet and Computer-Mediated 
   Communication.

   The purpose of my project is to list pointers to information describing 
   the Internet, computer networks, and issues related to computer-mediated 
   communication (CMC).  Topics include the technical, social, cognitive, 
   and psychological aspects of computer networking and applications of CMC.    

   Comments always welcome. 

WHY 
===
   I've gathered this information because I'm working on a PhD dealing 
   with CMC and the use of the Internet.  I'm sharing this information because
   I feel it belongs to the network community, for free, because that is 
   where and how I got it.  If my effort is worth something to you, I'm
   glad.  Just cite me or acknowledge my work, and preserve my copyright
   statement.  If you have a commercial project or publication idea, 
   I'm interested, as long as this information and updates can remain 
   available on the net for free.

   In preparing this list, I first developed an ASCII file version, 
   internet-cmc.  However, I have recognized the need for this information
   to be more amenable for entry into other information systems, so I have
   developed a file tagged with identifier information (internet-cmc.dat).


HOW YOU CAN HELP ME 
===================
   1.  Tell me of any errors in this document.
       ---------------------------------------
       I try to do a complete re-check of the information in this document
       for the .00 releases---this is a monumental task.  So if a link 
       is old, I might not get to it for a while.  Let me know if you 
       have problems with any source, and feel free to suggest new ones. 

   2.  Tell me why you are using the Internet.
       ---------------------------------------
       I'm doing research on why people use the Internet.  Send me
       (decemj@rpi.edu) an email note with the subject line 
       "Why I Use the Internet" describing why you use (or don't
       like to use) the Internet.  This is not a scientific sampling, 
       but your free-form answer to this question can help me to devise
       a future survey instrument.  Tell me about what attracted you
       to use the Internet in the first place and why you continue 
       using the network.  What do you find on it that holds your 
       interest (or is repulsive to you)?  In other words, tell
       me---in a way that makes sense to you and using your own
       terms---why you use the Internet.

   3.  Let me know where you see/find out about my internet-cmc files.
       ---------------------------------------------------------------
       I'd like to know from where in the network my internet-cmc
       files have traveled.  Below are access points that
       someone has already informed me about.  If you encounter 
       any of my internet-cmc files in a place other than those
       listed below, please send me an email note with the 
       subject line "Use report" and tell me the source.  Thanks.

FILES
=====
   Here are the files available:

   Anonymous ftp Host: ftp.rpi.edu; Directory: pub/communications/

   File                 Explanation
   -------------------- ------------------------------------------------
   internet-cmc.readme  this file

   internet-cmc.dat     the `raw data' file for other internet-cmc files,
                        tagged according to the KEY, described below.

   internet-cmc         a human-readable (wide column) version which can be 
                        manipulated or reformatted using Unix scripts;
                        some scripts are suggested in this file itself.

   internet-cmc.txt     a human-readable version which stays in 80-columns;
                        useful for reading as static text (printed or 
                        online), but not as useful for scanning and
                        reformatting as internet-cmc

   internet-cmc.tex     the LaTeX version (source)

   internet-cmc.ps.Z    the compressed PostScript version

   internet-cmc.html    the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) version
                        Thanks to Kevin Hughes (kevinh@pulua.hcc.hawaii.edu) 
                        for developing an early version of the software to 
			convert internet-cmc.dat to internet-cmc.html. 
                        Link to this file with the URL:
			ftp://ftp.rpi.edu/pub/communications/internet-cmc.html

   internet-cmc.dvi     the device-independent (binary) version  
 
   internet-cmc.gif 	The graphics image that I use in the .html
			version.

   internet-cmc.bib     This is a selected listing of items related to 
   			Computer-Mediated Communication, the Internet, 
			and network information infrastructure and use.

   The source code for translating internet-cmc.dat into its various 
   formats is available on request.

USE
===
   Basically, 
      o internet-cmc.ps looks best for reading on static paper.
      o internet-cmc.txt is good if you want the 80-column constraint (other
        wise, it seems a bit awkward to read with all the continuations).
      o internet-cmc is great for manipulating with Unix scripts.
      o internet-cmc.html is useful in a WWW server;
        Connect to URL:

CRAM: the Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement

In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and
as a service to motivated information compilers, I 
(L. Detweiler) will help others unfamiliar with Usenet 
`publish' their documents for widespread dissemination via the 
FAQ structure, and act as a `sponsor' knowledgable in the 
submissions process. This document is being distributed under
this arrangement.

I have found these compilations tend to appear on various 
mailing lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider 
distribution. If you know of an existing compilation of 
Internet information that is not currently a FAQ, please 
contact me and I may `sponsor' it. The benefits to the author 
include:

- use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
  - automated mail server service
  - FTP archival
  - automated posting

- a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy,
  and coverage of the document enormously through email 
  feedback

- potential professional inquiries for the use of your 
  document in other settings, such as newsletters, books, 
  etc.

- with me as your sponsor, I will also take care of the 
  technicalities in the proper format of the posted version 
  and updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' 
  to focus on the basic updates alone

Send comments relating to the *distribution* of this document
(particularly relevant newsgroups not currently covered in
its current distribution) or inquiries on other documents to
<ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu>. 

The choice of who I `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always
have the option of handling the submission process yourself. 
See the FAQ submission guidelines FAQ in news.answers.
