Hello all,

As Dieter has pointed out on several occasions, I'm a historian of
science who prefers to lurk rather than interact on this bboard.
Has to do with theoretical issues in historical and sociological
analysis--the "Hawthorne effect," which is sort of like the uncertainty
principle: if the people you're studying are self-conscious about
you studying them, then they change behavior.

But, since he mentioned in his most recent bibliography my OTA report,
I thought I'd give more direct information on how to get it:

Write to "Knowledge Transfer,"
SET Program
OTA--US Congress
Washington DC 20510-8025

Request a copy of the report "Changing Culture of Research: Communication
Technologies and Knowledge Transfer."

Best wishes,

-- Bruce
