            Information Infrastructure Sourcebook 
 
The Information Infrastructure project at Harvard's Kennedy School of 
Government announces the publication of the Information 
Infrastructure  Sourcebook, Version 3.0 (April, 1994), edited by 
Brian Kahin.  The Sourcebook is designed to provide provide planners 
and policymakers a single volume 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.  The 
Sourcebook is now produced in two volumes.  It is over 1000 pages in 
length, containing approximately 2000 pages of original material. 
 
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:
