    Abstract
    Describes a study of the use of electronic networks by scientists and engineers. The study of network use was conducted in order to make policy recommendations for the proposed Natioanl Research and Education Network (NREN) and combines traditional social science empirical methods with policy analysis. Argues that qualitative techniwues, such as semi-structured interviews and focus groups, provide data important to the development of user-based policies and that social and behavioural issues must be given more attention ny network policy makers

    Abstract
    The US government has been active in the establishment of national and other levels of networking to connect various kinds of persons and groups throughout the country. Briefly examines the history and present state of federal initiatives in electronic networking (particularly the National Information Infrastructure (NII)) and the NREN. Looks at current trends and issues for electronic publishing that come from this federal activity; and identifies topics of fundamental interest to, and with major implications for, national policy that arise from electronic publishing. Explores electronic publishing in the context of federal networking initiatives and considers the implications of the growth of electronic publishing for national policy
