ACN Volume 6 No 1 Spring 1994


                          New Net Book
 
   In honor of the 25th Anniversary of the Arpanet and of the 
UNIX operating system, and the 15th Anniversary of Usenet News, I 
am proud to announce a net-book. This net-book provides some of 
the historical perspective and social context needed to 
understand the advance represented by the global telecom
munications network. This net-book is for those who want to 
contribute to the care and nurture of the Net.
 
   The Book's title is:
        The Netizens and the Wonderful World of the Net:
                          An Anthology.
 
   Any comments on the book would be welcome, as it is currently 
in draft form. We are making it available on-line as we feel it 
will be helpful for people, and your comments will help us to 
make the book more valuable.
   In addition, it would be worthwhile to have the book published 
in a printed edition. Any suggestions towards this would be 
appreciated.
   A draft is now available via anonymous ftp at:

        wuarchive.wustl.edu

in the directory:

   The on-line book is also available to browse via gopher on the
