========================================================================= Date: Wed, 24 Aug 1994 17:00:29 -0500 (CDT) From: Gleason Sackman Subject: UPDATED> Information Infrastructure Sourcebook - Version 4.0 (fwd) >SENDER: CAROLYN GIDEON Version Four of Harvard Information Infrastructure Sourcebook The Information Infrastructure Project at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government announces the publication of Version 4.0 of the Information Infrastructure Sourcebook (August 1994), edited by Brian Kahin. The Sourcebook now consists of over 1700 pages in three volumes, containing approximately 3300 pages of original material. The Sourcebook is designed to provide planners and policymakers a single reference on efforts to define and develop policy for a national information infrastructure. It includes historical policy documents, private sector vision statements and position papers, program and project descriptions (all sectors), landmark reports, and pending legislation. In assembling the Sourcebook, we have looked for documents that have had or are likely to have an impact on policy development, that are formal in nature, and that deal with information infrastructure at a general rather than topic level. In general, material is reproduced as is, although we have excerpted in the interests of space, relevance, balance and consistency. Because of changes in technology, markets, programs and policies, the Sourcebook will of necessity require supplementation or revision on a regular basis. So we will look for new or updated contributions whenever they become available. Please direct any suggestions for additional material to: James Keller Coordinator, Information Infrastructure Project Kennedy School of Government 79 JFK Street Cambridge, MA 02138 Fax: 617-495-5776 Tel: 617-496-4042 E-mail: keller@ksgrsch.harvard.edu The Sourcebook is available in hardcopy for $85 (including Priority Mail delivery within the U.S.; foreign delivery extra). In order to provide holders of previous versions of the Sourcebook an affordable means of staying up to date on materials related to developing policy for a national information infrastructure, supplement are available. The Supplement is available for $40 for holders of Version 3.0. Supplements are also available for holders of Version 2.0 to update to Version 4.0 for $60.
