<p>Hi John, cc the list</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I hadn't come across this one myself, so many thanks for the
details. The interviews are an excellent resource. And I'd second
Gleb's question about industry publications. There's now good
digital coverage of parts of the personal computer press, thanks
largely to enthusiasts, and it would be really useful to have
similar coverage for the industry and for earlier years. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As to SIGCIS's UK resource guide: I compiled this about ten years
ago and it's due a thorough overhaul – there are various things I
wouldn't present in the same way if I were writing it now, and of
course the literature has grown a lot. Although I'm no longer on
the SIGCIS committee, I'd be happy in principle to overhaul it,
but realistically I'm not going to have time in the near future.
Is anybody else interested in taking this on? <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best<br>
James<br>
