Virtual texts have emerged within the realm of the Internet as
the predominant means of global communication. As both
technological and cultural artifacts, they embody and challenge
cultural assumptions and invite new ways of conceptualizing
knowledge, community, identity, and meaning. But despite the
pervasiveness of the Internet in nearly all aspects of contemporary
life, no single resource has cataloged the ways in which numerous
disciplines have investigated and critiqued virtual texts. This
bibliography includes more than 1500 annotated entries for books,
articles, dissertations, and electronic resources on virtual texts
published between 1988 and 1999.
Because of the multiple contexts in which virtual texts are
studied, the bibliography addresses virtual communication across a
broad range of disciplines and philosophies. It encompasses studies
of the historical development of virtual texts; investigations of
the many interdisciplinary applications of virtual texts and
discussions of such legal issues as privacy and intellectual
property. Entries are arranged alphabetically within topical
chapters, and extensive indexes facilitate easy access.
