Point to point protocol connections to CedarNet for Windows 3.x systems

The project allows NEIRLS affiliated libraries to connect with the Internet so that they might use the SILO Locator instead of the CD-ROM based system. Important terms used in the project and paper are defined. The methodology follows the ASSURE approach to analyze the learner, state objectives, select media and materials, utilize materials, require learner participation and to evaluate and revise the project. The project is briefly described and judged to be effective but probably will be soon superseded by advancing technology

Copyright in the Internet with reference to Malaysia

This thesis examines selected legal issues of copyright law in respect of the internet. The thesis focuses on Malaysian and UK Copyright law concerning; accessing web pages; linking; framing and caching. Since the internet is in use globally, law at an international, regional and national level have been examined in order to find solutions to these selective issues. At the regional level, European Union law is analysed. The Information Society Directive covers two of the selected issues (accessing web pages and caching). However there are still gaps in the Information Society Directive regarding the two other issues of framing and linking. In UK Copyright law, since the UK has implemented the Information Society Directive, a new section has been added to the Amendment Act, which covers accessing web pages and caching, but the UK Statutes do not expressly cover framing and linking. However, linking may be allowed under the general rule of implied licence. The Malaysian Copyright (Amendment) Act of 1997 has provided for the internet where a new section has been created that is the right to control the communication of copyright works to the public. However, there is no specific legislative provision on transient copies (accessing web page and caching) under this Act. However, accessing web pages may be covered under another provision which permits copies to be made in any form or version. Caching however is provided for under another provision. In the USA, provision on safe harbour provides the ISP with protection against action of infringement. The US Copyright law covers all the selected issues except framing. The conclusion reached in this thesis is that Malaysian law provides legislative solutions only for some of the selected copyright issues in respect of the internet but, in general, it is still inadequate and needs to be improved

Future of the Internet--and how to stop it

vi, 342 p. : ill. ; 25 cmLibro ElectrónicoOn January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone to an eager audience crammed into San Francisco’s Moscone Center.1 A beautiful and brilliantly engineered device, the iPhone blended three products into one: an iPod, with the highest-quality screen Apple had ever produced; a phone, with cleverly integrated functionality, such as voicemail that came wrapped as separately accessible messages; and a device to access the Internet, with a smart and elegant browser, and with built-in map, weather, stock, and e-mail capabilities. It was a technical and design triumph for Jobs, bringing the company into a market with an extraordinary potential for growth, and pushing the industry to a new level of competition in ways to connect us to each other and to the Web.Includes bibliographical references (p. 249-328) and index Acceso restringido a miembros del Consorcio de Bibliotecas Universitarias de Andalucía Electronic reproduction.

Copyright in shareware programs distributed on the Internet

The intellectual property of software developers has been protected by copyright since amendments to the Australian Copyright Act in 1984. In the first Australian case to consider copyright in a shareware program distributed on the Internet, the Court held that the Internet service provider OzEmail had infringed Trumpet Software's copyright in Trumpet Winsock 2.0B by arranging for the program and a set of altered data files to be distributed with other software on diskette as a give-away inserted in copies of computer magazines. The implications of this case for software developers, distributors and users are discussed
