Information Infrastructure Sourcebook
The Information Infrastructure Project at Harvard's Kennedy School of
Government announces the publication of the Information Infrastructure
Sourcebook, Version 2.0 (ISSN 1073-6921, December, 1993), edited by
Brian Kahin. The Sourcebook is designed to 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 over 800 pages in length,
containing approximately 1,500 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:
