Through the lens of culture,The Internet of Elsewherelooks at the role of the Internet as a catalyst in transforming communications, politics, and economics. Cyrus Farivar explores the Internet's history and effects in four distinct and, to some, surprising societies-Iran, Estonia, South Korea, and Senegal. He profiles Web pioneers in these countries and, at the same time, surveys the environments in which they each work. After all, contends Farivar, despite California's great success in creating the Internet and spawning companies like Apple and Google, in some areas the United States is still years behind other nations. Surprised?You won't be for long as Farivar proves there are reasons that: Skype was invented in Estonia-the same country that developed a digital ID system and e-voting;Iran was the first country in the world to arrest a blogger, in 2003;South Korea is the most wired country on the planet, with faster and less expensive broadband than anywhere in the United States;Senegal may be one of sub-Saharan Africa's best chances for greater Internet access.The Internet of Elsewherebrings forth a new complex and modern understanding of how the Internet spreads globally, with both good and bad effects.

This article discusses 2 recent conferences, \"Virtually yours: models for managing electronic resources and services\", Chicago, Illinois, October 23-25, 1997, and \"Wired and wary: legal issues for librarians in the digital world,\" Boston Massachusetts, November 7, 1997, concerned with library management of electronic information sources. Focusing on those elements of the conferences with financial implications, it concludes that definitive answers to financial management questions continue to be a missing element in this area.

This last category includes technologies that are either not intended to provide positioning or designed for completely different environments than indoors. Therefore, performances are generally highly disturbed indoors. The counterpart is clearly the total absence of the need for a complementary infrastructure. Among technologies that are not intended to provide positioning (at least alone), one can note the wide range of approaches: pressure sensors in order to provide an altitude or wired networks that are able, under certain conditions, to identify your location. An exception to that is the magnetometer based so‐called magneto‐inertial approach, potentially well adapted for indoor positioning, but indeed implementing a first kind of “hybridization.” (Chapter will discuss, among others, a few hybridization approaches.)

A new service, Wired Source, from the US Wired magazine, provides a Web service breaking down into 23 categories with links to key sources on the Web. Only reliable information sources are included. It provides (with `opinions' or reviews) search engines, indices, a reference desk, people finders, news, magazines and Webzines. Greater international coverage is anticipated.

Analysts say the aftershocks of Tuesday's resignation by a key board member of the giant Lycos Web site may hamper Lycos' acquisition of Wired Digital, which has itself been the subject of a reported revolt by investors. Tuesday, David Wetherell, chief executive officer of the Andover, Mass.-based Internet marketing company CMGI Inc., resigned from the board of Lycos Inc., which is in the final stages of acquiring Wired Digital. CMGI is Lycos' largest shareholder. According to reports first published last month in Boston newspapers, shareholders at Wired Digital have retained attorneys, with the possible intention of launching lawsuits that could block the Lycos-Wired Digital deal. Lycos and Wired Digital officials maintain the deal is solid, however.

Ten Wired for Youth (WFY) centres have been set up by Austin Public Library, Texas, to provide access to computers and computerized facilities for teenagers. These users come into the WFY centres to send and receive electronic mail, do homework, take a class on World Wide Web development or engage in many of the activities associated with the Internet. The WFY programme was made possible by funding from the Michael and Susal Dell Foundation and serves young people between the ages of 8 and 18. The young people of Austin can learn and practice an array of electronic information literacy skills that will assist them in their formal education, developing future goals and ultimately to becoming productive adult members of their communities as well as lifelong users of the library.
