Computing Technology Policy Bibliography
http://home.ix.netcom.com/~technology_policy/

The bibliography covers the popular press and computing magazines, but not research or scholarly publications. The ACM Digital Library is the best source for the latter. Why provide this bibliography when a more complete and less idiosyncratic search could be done with a search engine such as Google? Using this bibliography has several advantages: categorization into a taxonomy that groups like articles together, a chronological presentation and a selective number of hits. Entries in this bibliography could then be used to generate a more complete search with a search engine.

It would be convenient if the directory entries were links to each citation entry, but to save space and download times, the actual bibliography pages are plain text with no formatting or other information in them. The user can of course paste directory entries into the browser search function and move to citation entries that way. Perhaps in the future the pages will be HTML formatted and include features such as internal links. Directory entries consist of a date (yy-mm-dd) followed by a title. The title is not necessarily the title of the article but has been chosen to be concise and descriptive. The bibliographic entry starts with the directory entry, usually the URL, citation information and the first 2-3 lines of the article. Due to copyright restrictions we cannot provide the full text of cited articles.
