Here are my two favorite references about Internet history: Abbate, J. (1999). Inventing the Internet. Cambridge (Mass.): The MIT Press. Salus, P. H. (1995). Casting the Net : from ARPANET to Internet and Beyond. Reading, Mass.: Addison-Wesley Pub. Co. The following is a shorter, interesting text reproduced in several publications and languages; you will find some PDF versions of it quite easily on the Web by searching its title: King, J. L., Grinter, R. E., & Pickering, J. M. (1997). The Rise and Fall of Netville: The Saga of a Cyberspace Construction Boomtown in the Great Divide. In S. Kiesler (Ed.), Culture of the Internet (pp. 3-33). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. Guillaume Hello all, I have run into this problem, yet again, and am still looking for a solution. I'm writing a (very brief) history of the Internet for an article. I have the following sources, which a) seem outdated and b) not sufficiently scholarly. Leiner, B. et al. 1997. ""The Past and Future History of the Internet." Communications of the ACM, February 1997. Berners-Lee, Tim. 1998, "The World Wide Web: A Very Short Personal History", Retrieved July 9, 2009, 2009 ( [1]http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ShortHistory.html). World Wide Web Consortium. 2007, "A Little History of the World Wide Web", Retrieved February 19, 2007 ([2] http://www.w3.org/History.html). Can anyone point me in the direction of either more recent or more scholarly sources? I wrestle with using Wikipedia (as many have discussed on this list in the past). I would prefer, at the very least, a pre-press paper from a scholar. Any help much appreciated. s. -- ~~~~~ Sam Ladner, PhD Sociologist Toronto _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers [3]http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: [4]http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: [5]http://www.aoir.org/ References 1. http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ShortHistory.html 2. http://www.w3.org/History.html 3. http://aoir.org/ 4. http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org 5. http://www.aoir.org/
