Managers, researchers, users, and students of new communication
technologies have a bewildering variety of sources for information
about
these new media. Paradoxically, because many of these sources are
recent,
a few people are aware of the diversity available. Further,
communication
researchers and information scientists have a role in providing the
analyses
and understanding to match the concerns and interests of the managerial
and user communities. This role has yet to be filled. In a recent
analysis
of publication trends, The New Media: Communication,
Research
and Technology, Rice (Sage, 1984) shows that the social science
literature
has avoided the topic of new communication technologies, while the
popular
and management literature, and some educational literature, has been
keenly
attentive to the topic.
This review should allow the reader to become familiar with some
of the journals and magazines covering aspects of new communication
technologies-specifically,
media involving a computer in some way. This listing covers what we
consider
to be the most useful, important, topical, and/or accessible serials in
this field.
