Information Sources: the Internet and Computer-Mediated Communication
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
Compiled by John December (decemj@rpi.edu), Release 1.6, 01 Sep 92
|
|
Additions/comments welcome. This document or updates are available via
|
|
anonymous ftp. Host: ftp.rpi.edu, file: pub/communications/internet-cmc
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
PURPOSE: to list pointers to information describing the Internet,
|
|
computer networks, and issues related to computer-mediated
|
|
communication (CMC). Topics of interest include the technical,
|
|
social, cognitive, and psychological aspects of CMC.
|
|
AUDIENCE: this file is useful for those getting started in understanding
|
|
the Internet and CMC; it compactly summarizes sources of
|
|
information for those who are already exploring these issues.
|
|
ASSUMPTIONS: to access many information sources listed here you must
|
|
have access to and know how to use anonymous ftp, email, or
|
|
USENET newsgroups. Some files are in TeX or PostScript format.
|
|
NOTE: Please respect ftp and mail list privileges. (See Net
|
|
Etiquette Guide, listed below.) Even though I periodically
|
|
check this information, it changes quickly. If you know of
|
|
any items this list which are not available, let me know, and
|
|
I will delete it from this list. Please respect a site that
|
|
may no longer have a document available for anonymous ftp.
|
|
Also, for various reasons, you might not be able to reach some
|
|
documents or services. Please be patient with and respectful of
|
|
the owners/administrators of the machines on which this
|
|
information is placed.
