Peek, Robin – Proceedings of the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, 1992
This extended abstract summarizes the findings of a study that examined nine scholar-focused public electronic discussion groups (EDGs) on BITNET. The roles, rules, and responsibilities of EDG owners are discussed, and several suggestions for enhancing the relationship between the EDG owner and membership are offered. (MES)

Martin, Thomas H. – Proceedings of the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, 1992
Focusing on economic issues related to the NREN (National Research and Education Network), this paper examines the implications for the academic community of a shift to fee-based network services. Costs currently borne by institutions and the feasibility of charging end users are considered. Commercial use of the NREN is also addressed. (two…

Burnett, Kathleen – Proceedings of the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, 1992
Defines the concepts of hypertext, hypermedia, multimedia, and multimedia networks. Using the rhizome as a metaphor for electronically mediated exchange, a theory of hypermedia design that incorporates principles of connection and heterogeneity, multiplicity, asignifying rupture, and cartography and decalomania is explored. (four references) (MES)

Janes, Joseph W.; Rosenfeld, Louis B. – Proceedings of the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, 1992
Examines historical and current difficulties in information retrieval, including the tendency of technology, because of the problems of scale and distribution, to make information invisible to users. Attempts to organize networked resources are described, and serendipity is proposed as a model for future retrieval. (two references) (MES)

Shepherd, Michael A.; Watters, Carolyn – Proceedings of the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, 1992
Characterizes information retrieval systems in a network environment from a user's perspective along two axes: query and presentation. Several examples of early, current, and developing information retrieval systems are considered within this framework, and Daltext, a prototype system to support research on text-based retrieval systems, is…
