Ah, that reminded me I was going to reply too. The best website I've seen on Internet history is <http://www.livinginternet.com/> which is probably more than you need already. Books not yet mentioned include _Hackers_ by Steven Levy, _Casting the Net_ by Peter Salus <http://olc1.ohiolink.edu/search/i?02018= 76744>, and _Technomanifestos_ edited by Adam Brate <http://olc1.ohiolink.edu/search/i?1587991039>. (By the way, OhioLink usually has Table of Contents.) You may also want to read up on Unix since it's history and the Internet are intertwined. Other online stuff: Vannevar Bush's "As We May Think" (Atlantic 1945) <http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=3Dbush+think> or <http://www.csi.uottawa.ca/~dduchier/misc/vbush/awmt.html> =93Trends in the Evolution of the Public Web: 1998-2002=94 Dlib 9 (4), April 2003 <http://www.dlib.org/dlib/april03/lavoie/04lavoie.html> =93Use of Public Libraries Grows with Internet=94, Sacramento Bee, 9/19/0= 2 <http://www.sacbee.com/content/business/story/4460123p-5480900c.html> The Internet Archive (fun to look at your library's old site) <http://www.archive.org/> "How Internet Search Engines Work" <http://www.howstuffworks.com/search-engine.htm?printable=3D1> These links come from my own readings over the years and from Information School classes here at UW.
