The Early Years of Academic Computing: A Collection of Memoirs
William Y. Arms, Kenneth King · eCommons (Cornell University) · 2017
This is the second Internet-First publication in a new publishing genre, an 'Incremental Book' that becomes feasible due to the Internet.Unlike paper-first book publishing -in which each contribution is typically held in abeyance until all parts are complete, and only then presented to the reading public as part of a single entity -with Internet publishing, book segments (Increments) can be released when finalized.Book parts may be published as they become available.We anticipate releasing updated editions from time-to-time (using dated, rather than numbered editions) that incorporate these increments.These digital collections may be freely downloaded for personal use, or may be ordered as bound copies, at user expense, from Cornell Business Services (CBS) Digital Services by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or calling 607.255.2524.In the body of the message include the URL for this book or increment, and request contact regarding payment.As these increments become available online, the eCommons@Cornell digital repository will automatically provide a listing of the most recent additions to this collection.Furthermore, we will provide a chronologically ordered PDF file named 'Increments and Forthcoming Sections' to be added to this eCommons collection.From time-to-time these 'increments' will be integrated into the book, which will then bear a new edition date.
