2. "Uncle Roger", an Online Narrabase

   Uncle Roger is a "narrabase" or narrative database. It was first told as an online serial on Art Com Electronic Network (ACEN) and then was published as an interactive online database on ACEN. It is also available as computer software for both Apple II and IBM-compatible computers. The narrabase form uses a computer database to build up levels of meaning. The artist explains how this form evolved from her visual books and her information databases. She discusses the story and structure of Uncle Roger and describes how the story was told and published in an online community. In the conclusion she discusses the future of computer literature.

3. Electronic Literature Publishing and Distribution in Europe

   A preliminary presentation of Publishing E-Lit in Europe,  a report detailing efforts to systematically survey and analyze the publication of electronic literature within Europe. Due to the immensity of their investigation and the limitations on what two researchers could achieve in three months' time, the authors emphasized that their report was a work in progress: at this point, they had been able to collect primary data about the publications, portals, collections, contests and other forums that supported the creation and distribution of electronic literature in Europe. The revised version of the report would feature more content analysis - of the type of material published and trends that distinguished various e-lit communities writing within specific linguistic and cultural traditions.

8. Acid-Free Bits: Recommendations for Long-Lasting Electronic Literature

   Electronic literature doesn't come on bound, offset-printed pages. Keeping it on a shelf doesn't mean that it will be easy, or even possible, to read it in the future. Even putting it into a vault with controlled temperature, light, and humidity won't ensure its availability. The new possibilities of electronic literature come from its being as much software as document, as much machine as text. For electronic literature to be readable, its mechanisms must continue to operate or must be replaced, since changes in the context of computing will complicate access to important works of literature on the computer. The context of computing includes operating systems, applications, the network environment, and interface hardware — and this context is constantly evolving. A piece of electronic literature written for a Macintosh in the 1980s may be unreadable on the Macs in a college computer lab today. But e-lit can become unreadable much more quickly, as an upgrade to the next version of the authoring or reading software introduces unexpected problems. Some approaches to creating e-lit are more likely than others to result in work that is preservable.
