The Electronic Literature Collection, Volume One

The Electronic Literature Organization recently released the Electronic
Literature Collection, Volume One. The Collection, edited by N. Katherine
Hayles, Nick Montfort, Scott Rettberg, and Stephanie Strickland, is an
anthology of 60 eclectic works of electronic literature, published
simultaneously on CD-ROM and on the web at collection.eliterature.org. It is
being published by the Electronic Literature Organization under a Creative
Commons License (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5), so readers are
free to copy and share any of the works included, or for instance to install
the collection on every computer in a school's computer lab, without paying
any licensing fees. The Collection will be free for individuals.

The 60 works included in the Electronic Literature Collection present a
broad overview of the field of electronic literature, including selected
works in new media forms such as hypertext fiction, kinetic poetry,
generative and combinatory forms, network writing, codework, 3D, and
narrative animations. Contributors include authors and artists from Brazil,
the USA, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Australia. Each work is framed
with brief editorial and author descriptions and tagged with descriptive
keywords. The CD-ROM of the Collection runs on both Macintosh and Windows
platforms and is published in a case appropriate for library processing,
marking, and distribution. Free copies of the CD-ROM can be requested from
The Electronic Literature Organization.

The Collection will also be included with N. Katherine Hayles' forthcoming
book, Electronic Literature: Teaching, Interpreting, Playing (Notre Dame
University Press, 2007).
