BITNET: A TOOL FOR COMMUNICATIONS AMONG GEOGRAPHERS* |
|
| Authors: | Lawrence T Lewis |
| Abstract: | BITNET is a telecommunications network for higher education. The network's general characteristics, services, the availability of BITNET to academic geographers, and their use of the system are examined. Although more than 80% of geography faculty in the United States and Canada are at BITNET-supported institutions, a survey of AAG Specialty Group chairs suggests that geographers' actual use of BITNET is relatively low. |
