Subject: Recent Computing & Info Books

Read any good books lately? In particular, what in
your opinion are the best books of the last five years on
computer science and information science? What about computer
literacy and information literacy? Or special aspects of these
subjects? I'm interested in books published during or after 1988
and in knowing what you liked (or disliked) about them.

I'm revising the article on "Computers and Information
Science" for the 14th edition of _The Reader's Advisor_ and would
appreciate any suggestions and comments. If you reply directly
to me, I'll summarize and post the results. Thanks for any help
you can provide -- and please forgive any cross-postings.

Subject: Chesterton poetry, e-copy

I vaguely recall seeing electronic copy of some of G. K. Chesterton's
poems on a file server, but have lost the source. OTA appears to have
nothing of Chesterton's (in the short catalogue). I'll be grateful
for any leads on Chesterton's works in etext format.

Thanks,
Robin Cover

Subject: copyright of email discussions?

An offlist colleague asks me to post the following:

Is it a breach of copyright, or ethics, for someone to quote in published
work a communication they have read on an email network like the Humanist
discussion group? This kind of informal academic exchange provides great
data for, say, historians of ideas or linguists. But if someone wanted to
exploit it as a data source, would they have to ask permission from (a)the
sender of the message, (b) network users generally? Assuming citation were
permitted, should the content be cited without naming the sender (as with
informants in social science research?) Who decides this kind of issue?

Does anyone know whether, and if so, how it might be possible to consult the
genealogical database maintained by the Mormon Church in Salt Lake?

Subject: Computer Simulations in U.S. History

I am attempting to find one of Dr. John E. Semonche's "Encountering
the Past: Computer Simulations in U. S. History" simulations.
The one I am interested in is on the Women's Suffrage movement:
"1912: Can You Get Your State to Approve a Woman's Suffrage Amendment?"
I have called Harcourt, Brace, Janovich, Inc. (the advertised supplier
according to the literature I have) but they do not have that one.
Does anyone know where to get this simulation....or does someone have
an email address for John Semonche at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill?
