We'll also need about four hours (logged) of searching and downloading materials from databases.

Materials may be conveyed to me in email attachments, floppy disks, or if too voluminous, on a flash drive.

All outlines and materials should be headed by source citation (preferably in APSA Style).

Provide a source citation list that I will post to the FRAMP references page.

Convert your outlines to HTML format and attach to an email.

Indicate which book and chapter each one covers.

Howard plus Garson anthologies are large.

Some technical readings need only the understandable, policy oriented parts summarized.

Most urgent in Garson are readings on information and privacy policy -- rather than information technology.

Outline the following books on domestic topics:

• Philip E. Agre and Marc Rotenberg, eds.  1997.  Technology and Privacy: the New Landscape.  Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. [Most Urgent -- on ILL.]
• Brin, David.  1998.  The Transparent Society.  NY: Perseus Books.
• Garson, G. David.  2005.  Handbook of Public Information Systems.  Second Edition.  NY: Taylor and Francis.
• chaps 6, 11, 30-39 are most urgent

• Outline the following books on International topics:
• National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States.  2004. The 9/11 Commission Report, Final report, Authorized Edition.  NY: Norton. [Liz Arnett].
• Chapter 1 outline is already posted to web.
• Howard, Russell D. and Reid L. Sawyer.  eds.  2002.  Terrorism and Counterterrorism: Understanding the New Security Environment, Readings and Interpretations.  Revised and Updated.  NY: McGraw Hill / Dushkin.  [Adam Farquhar].

freedom of information

eFOIA

(informational) privacy (library borrowing and email, which are executive issues -- but not not homosexuality case, Lawrence v Texas, which is a judicial policy issue.)

USA PATRIOT Act: surveillance, sharing of information among law enforcement and intelligence agencies, interrogation of prisoners, holding of prisoners without traditional criminal hearings.

looking for congressional action, hearings, reports.

Action on Electronic FOIA of 1996 needed also.

Follow up on any proposed bills with Thomas.LOC.Gov links to web pages of congressional committees and members.

Likely journals are Duke LJ, Fordham LJ, Yale Law & Policy Review.

These have in the past published articles about freedom of information issues and cases.

NOT Government Information Quarterly or Access Reports -- already done.

Public Administration Review

Journal of Media Law and Policy (Scotland -- if not in US databases, try google search)
