The National Information Infrastructure and Electronic Publishing: A Reflective Essay

The United States government has been active in the establishment of national and other levels of networking to connect various kinds of persons and groups throughout the country. This article briefly examines the history and present state of federal initiatives in electronic networking (particularly the National Information Infrastructure [NII] and the National Research and Education Network [NREN]); looks at current trends and issues for electronic publishing that come from this federal activity; and identifies topics of fundamental interest to, and with major implications for, national policy that arise from electronic publishing. The goal of this discussion is to explore electronic publishing in the context of federal networking initiatives and to consider the implications of the growth of electronic publishing for national policy. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
