Here is a review of the magazine, from the Internet Scout Report,
Oct 31, 1997, vol. 4 #27: 
"This ezine, produced by Seattle Washington Internet content provider
Pretext, Inc., concentrates on various aspects of the digital revolution.
The first issue, Digital Libraries, features an interview with Brewster
Kahle, inventor of wide area information servers (WAIS), and founder of
the Internet Archive. Other articles discuss the possibilities of the
Internet as a universal library, the ramifications of the digital
revolution on public libraries, and the future of the librarian in the
digital age. The next issue, due out in early November, is titled "The End
of Privacy." [JS]
