Looking for reading suggestions
Dear all in the list, can anybody suggest good literature about the beginning of the use of internet *in the physics and astrophysics community*? Special interest is for newsgroups, mailing lists, forums. Thank you in advance to those who will be able to help.

The following items may be a starting place but not necessarily directly meet your requirements. I hope these ideas help in some way. 1. For names of listservs in physics see https://www.lsoft.com/lists/list_q.html. You'll find a form that allows you to search this site / database for discussion lists that use LISTSERV software. When keying physics in the box for name of the listserv, there are 276 lists matches: https://www.lsoft.com/scripts/wl.exe?qL=physics&F=L&F=T and 12 for astrophysics. https://www.lsoft.com/scripts/wl.exe?qL=astrophysics&F=L&F=T. Most of these listservs have a small number of subscribers. You could subscribe and post questions to any of interest. For a history of LISTSERV, see http://www.lsoft.com/corporate/history-listserv.asp and http://www.lsoft.com/corporate/legal.asp 2. Perhaps you could glean some information from the ACRL College & Research Libraries News, Association of College & Research Libraries, INTERNET RESOURCES: Physics, Vol 61, No 3 (2000) https://crln.acrl.org/index.php/crlnews/article/view/19240/22391 3. For Usenet, possibly: The links when you google site:usenet.com physics could be helpful or An Introduction to the Physics Newsgroups https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Administrivia/newsgroups.html Articles of Related Interest: Communities of On-Line Physics Educators Dan MacIsaac PHYSICS TEACHER Vol. 38, April 2000 http://physicsed.buffalostate.edu/PHYS-L/TPTApr00art.pdf The World Wide Web and High Energy Physics https://www.slac.stanford.edu/pubs/slacpubs/7750/slac-pub-7757.pdf Amelia Kassel Research Consultant (retired) AIIP Member Emeritus amelia@marketingbase.com -----Original Message----- From: Air-L <air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org> On Behalf Of Marra, Monica via Air-L Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2022 5:05 AM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] Looking for reading suggestions Dear all in the list, can anybody suggest good literature about the beginning of the use of internet *in the physics and astrophysics community*?
