================================================================================
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.

WHEN
====
This internet-cmc.readme file last update: 03 Nov 93.
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:

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.

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.

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.
