  713. WHAT 
  714. ====
  715.    This file (internet-cmc.readme) describes files relating to my project 
  716.    to list information sources related to the Internet and Computer-Mediated 
  717.    Communication.
  718.  
  719.    The purpose of my project is to list pointers to information describing 
  720.    the Internet, computer networks, and issues related to computer-mediated 
  721.    communication (CMC).  Topics include the technical, social, cognitive, 
  722.    and psychological aspects of computer networking and applications of CMC.    
  723.  
  724.    Comments always welcome. 
  725.  
  726. WHY 
  727. ===
  728.    I've gathered this information because I'm working on a PhD dealing 
  729.    with CMC and the use of the Internet.  I'm sharing this information because
  730.    I feel it belongs to the network community, for free, because that is 
  731.    where and how I got it.  If my effort is worth something to you, I'm
  732.    glad.  Just cite me or acknowledge my work, and preserve my copyright
  733.    statement.  If you have a commercial project or publication idea, 
  734.    I'm interested, as long as this information and updates can remain 
  735.    available on the net for free.
  736.  
  737.    In preparing this list, I first developed an ASCII file version, 
  738.    internet-cmc.  However, I have recognized the need for this information
  739.    to be more amenable for entry into other information systems, so I have
  740.    developed a file tagged with identifier information (internet-cmc.dat).
  741.  
  742.  
  743. HOW YOU CAN HELP ME 
  744. ===================
  745.    1.  Tell me of any errors in this document.
  746.        ---------------------------------------
  747.        I try to do a complete re-check of the information in this document
  748.        for the .00 releases---this is a monumental task.  So if a link 
  749.        is old, I might not get to it for a while.  Let me know if you 
  750.        have problems with any source, and feel free to suggest new ones. 
  751.  
  752.    2.  Tell me why you are using the Internet.
  753.        ---------------------------------------
  754.        I'm doing research on why people use the Internet.  Send me
  755.        (decemj@rpi.edu) an email note with the subject line 
  756.        "Why I Use the Internet" describing why you use (or don't
  757.        like to use) the Internet.  This is not a scientific sampling, 
  758.        but your free-form answer to this question can help me to devise
  759.        a future survey instrument.  Tell me about what attracted you
  760.        to use the Internet in the first place and why you continue 
  761.        using the network.  What do you find on it that holds your 
  762.        interest (or is repulsive to you)?  In other words, tell
  763.        me---in a way that makes sense to you and using your own
  764.        terms---why you use the Internet.
  765.  
  766.    3.  Let me know where you see/find out about my internet-cmc files.
  767.        ---------------------------------------------------------------
  768.        I'd like to know from where in the network my internet-cmc
  769.        files have traveled.  Below are access points that
  770.        someone has already informed me about.  If you encounter 
  771.        any of my internet-cmc files in a place other than those
  772.        listed below, please send me an email note with the 
  773.        subject line "Use report" and tell me the source.  Thanks.

  864. ===
  865.    Basically, 
  866.       o internet-cmc.ps looks best for reading on static paper.
  867.       o internet-cmc.txt is good if you want the 80-column constraint (other
  868.         wise, it seems a bit awkward to read with all the continuations).
  869.       o internet-cmc is great for manipulating with Unix scripts.
  870.       o internet-cmc.html is useful in a WWW server;

  912. In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and
  913. as a service to motivated information compilers, I 
  914. (L. Detweiler) will help others unfamiliar with Usenet 
  915. `publish' their documents for widespread dissemination via the 
  916. FAQ structure, and act as a `sponsor' knowledgable in the 
  917. submissions process. This document is being distributed under
  918. this arrangement.
  919.  
  920. I have found these compilations tend to appear on various 
  921. mailing lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider 
  922. distribution. If you know of an existing compilation of 
  923. Internet information that is not currently a FAQ, please 
  924. contact me and I may `sponsor' it. The benefits to the author 
  925. include:
  926.  
  927. - use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
  928.   - automated mail server service
  929.   - FTP archival
  930.   - automated posting
  931.  
  932. - a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy,
  933.   and coverage of the document enormously through email 
  934.   feedback
  935.  
  936. - potential professional inquiries for the use of your 
  937.   document in other settings, such as newsletters, books, 
  938.   etc.
  939.  
  940. - with me as your sponsor, I will also take care of the 
  941.   technicalities in the proper format of the posted version 
  942.   and updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' 
  943.   to focus on the basic updates alone
  944.  
  945. Send comments relating to the *distribution* of this document
  946. (particularly relevant newsgroups not currently covered in
  947. its current distribution) or inquiries on other documents to
  948. <ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu>. 
  949.  
  950. The choice of who I `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always
