My main Information Infrastructure page provides access to my own papers in this area. This document contains links to other people's pages.

Departments

Caveat: I just can't keep this segment of the page up to date. The more up-to-date references that I'm using will be more easily found by looking at the reference lists at the back of my recent papers.

My collection of external hot-links is organised into the following Departments:

• current awareness;
• learning about the Internet;
• pointers generally;
• academic sites;
• Australian government information infrastructure policy and practice;
• other government sites;
• crypto and the net;
• valuable commentary;
• voting on the web;
• valuable net resources not elsewhere included.

Current Awareness

Here's a set of pointers on developments in the regulation of the (Australian) Net.

Learning About the Internet

Here's a selection of hot-links to help beginners and not-so-beginners learn more about the Internet. My favourite is John Hilvert's piece on establishing your own web-page.
