           ERIC Publications Show How the Internet and
                    New Information Technology
        are Affecting Education, the Economy, and Society

Two new monographs which highlight current communications
technologies and how they are affecting curriculum, the economy,
and society have been published by the ERIC Clearinghouse on
Information & Technology, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New
York.

An Educator's Guide to Electronic Networking: Creating Virtual
Communities by Barbara Kurshan and Marcia Harrington, revised and
updated by Peter Milbury, offers network novices an introduction
to the Internet and the benefits of network resources, a
comparison of 28 commercial and non-commercial service providers,
and an extensive glossary of more than 200 common networking
terms. This guide assists teachers and administrators in making
informed decisions prior to implementing network technologies in
their schools.

Christina Doyle's Information Literacy in an Information Society:
A Concept for the Information Age, recognizes the change in
American society from an industrial economy to an economy based
in services and information. This monograph encourages educators
to prepare students for success in the new working environment by
teaching them to access, evaluate, and use information from a
variety of sources.
