Assigned Texts
There are two basic texts for the course:
Annabel Z. Dodd, The Essential Guide to Telecommunications, 4th Edition, 2005.
Lawrence Lessig, Code Version 2.0, 2006
These books are available in the university bookstore on the corner of 26th Street and Medical Arts, across the street from the Law School.
Online Resources
Most of the supplementary material assigned for each class -- nearly all of it -- will be on the World-Wide Web or other online sites. Students are responsible for using the Uniform Resource Location (URL) addresses provided in the course syllabus to locate the assigned material. The course syllabus itself will be on the Web, with links to all the assigned reading material that is online.
Reserve Materials
In a few cases, reading material will be put on reserve in the Public Affairs Library (PAL) on the second floor of the LBJ School. This reading material will be supplementary to the basic texts, material that is not available online, and which is most likely in a book or other publication that is difficult or problematic to photocopy. Reserve material should be checked out for the shortest period of time necessary to absorb the material, in order to maximize the availability of the readings for other students.
Electronic Updates
Routinely throughout the course the instructor will send out electronic updates, via e-mail, on issues the course aims to address. Students are also encouraged to share such news with their fellow students and with the instructor. Public policy surrounding the Internet is changing all the time, and in significant ways, so the course participants will have to stay on top of news using e-mail or other methods.
