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.
Known access/information points for internet-cmc* files:
ftp
ftp.rpi.edu pub/communications/internet-cmc*
(no need to tell me about any other ftp sites, as I can
find these with archie)
gopher
(no need to tell me about gopher menus or directories,
as I can find these with veronica)

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;

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.
