During this part of the course, we will examine various communication technologies like e-mail, usenet, listservs, IRC, MOOS, as well as issues of netiquette and how to get what you want. As a class we've been finding and sharing ftp, gopher and WWW sites and usenet and e-mail groups related to our research interests. Most of those are now collected in our Hotlinks Research Repository .
