WHERE ===== Anonymous ftp Host: ftp.rpi.edu; File: pub/communications/internet-cmc.readme WHAT ==== This file (internet-cmc.readme) explains 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. 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). Comments always welcome. Here are the files available: FILES ===== 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. Biographical Note ================= John December is a Ph.D. Candidate in the program in Communication and Rhetoric at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is a Teaching Assistant at Rensselaer and researching Computer-Mediated Communication tools, forums, and technology. He is beginning a doctoral dissertation dealing with CMC. John recently presented papers on CMC: "Characteristics of Oral Culture in Discourse on the Net" at the 1993 Penn State Conference on Rhetoric and Composition and "Directions for Computer-Mediated Scholarship" at the 1993 International Professional Communication Conference of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He is third author, with Fay Sudweeks and Mauri Collins, of a chapter, "Internetwork Resources" in the forthcoming book, _CMC and the Online Classroom: An Overview and Perspectives_ (Cresskill, NJ: Hampton Press). Prior to studying at Rensselaer, John earned a M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee, an M.F.A. in Creative Writing (Poetry) from The Wichita State University, and a B.S. in Mathematics from Michigan Technological University. From 1985 to 1989, he developed software in the Operations Analysis Department of Boeing Military Airplanes in Wichita, Kansas.

The most recent version of this document can be obtained via the author's instructions above. The following directions apply to retrieve the possibly less-current USENET FAQ version. FTP --- This FAQ is available from the standard FAQ server rtfm.mit.edu via FTP in the directory /pub/usenet/news.answers/communication-net-resources Email ----- Email requests for FAQs go to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with commands on lines in the message body, e.g. `help' and `index'. Usenet ------ This FAQ is posted every 21 days to the groups comp.infosystems alt.culture.internet alt.internet.services alt.culture.usenet comp.answers alt.answers news.answers === 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.
