The Usual Apologies for duplication, etc.


>>  A fully operational version of the Resource Center for
>>       Cyberculture Studies is now up and running:
>>                <http://otal.umd.edu/~rccs>
>>
>>WHAT IS RCCS?
>>
>>  The Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies is an online,
>>  not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to research, study,
>>  teach, support, and create diverse and dynamic elements of
>>  cyberculture.  Collaborative in nature, RCCS seeks to establish and
>>  support ongoing conversations about the emerging field, to foster a
>>  community of students, scholars, teachers, explorers, and builders of
>>  cyberculture, and to showcase various models, works-in-progress, and
>>  on-line projects.
>>
>>  In the future, the Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies hopes to
>>  sponsor a number of collaborative projects, colloquia, symposia, and
>>  workshops.  Presently, the site contains a collection of scholarly
>>  resources, including university-level courses in cyberculture, events
>>  and conferences, and related links.  Further, the site features an
>>  extensive annotated bibliography devoted to the topic of cyberculture.
>>  Finally, the site includes "conversations/collaborations," an online
>>  listing of scholars researching various elements of cyberculture.
>>
>>WHAT'S NEW?
>>
>>  Since its initial launch in January 1997, RCCS has developed two
>>  new major features.  The first is "Conversations/Collaborations."
>>  Here, visitors are invited to browse through the research interests
>>  and undergoing projects of a number of scholars, researchers, and
>>  instructors affiliated directly and indirectly with the field of
>>  cyberculture.  Moreover, visitors are encouraged to contribute
>>  their own entries, listing their interests and contact information.
>>
>>  The second new feature is called "Internet Interviews."  This
>>  section includes a list of links to online interviews with a
>>  number of digerati.  The list includes Nicholas Negroponte,
>>  Allucquere Rosanne (aka Sandy) Stone, Sherry Turkle, and Gregory
>>  Ulmer.
