The Electronic Labyrinth is a study of the implications of hypertext for creative writers looking to move beyond traditional notions of linearity.

The Electronic Labyrinth: Formal Devices and the Novel: "Hypertext follows in the steps of this counter-tradition, seeking new narrative models that might mirror its structural decentring of the book. The following list is an attempt to show the range of formal devices which have been variously employed by hypertext authors, both in print and electronic forms."

 The Internet Public Library: The Internet Public Library is the first public library of the Internet. "The Internet is a mess. Since nobody runs it, that's no surprise. There are a lot of interesting, worthwhile, and valuable things out there--and a lot that are a complete waste of time. Over the last few hundred years, librarians have become skilled at finding the good stuff, organizing it, and making it easier for people to find and use. Librarians also fight for important ideas like freedom of expression and thought, equality of access to information, and literacy."

Search Engines and Collection Sites: A collection of short cuts to dozens of search engines to facilitate your web searches.

Modern Language Association: THE MLA site includes "Frequently Asked Questions about MLA Style" -- use it!
