This paper is a first stab at how the information infrastructure for economists might change dramatically with the introduction of extensive computer networks. Rather than simply a new method of storing and moving information, networks might usher in a new era with radically easier access to publications, working papers, and data, which will benefit the profession as a whole. The most revolutionary change is Harnad's view of freely available journals. He first recognizes that an electronic journal will have much lower production costs. From that, he proposes that the costs of journals be borne by those who benefit from journals: the authors and their sponsors. As a result, journals become freely available and much more accessible. Similar, changes will occur in other parts of academic exchange: working papers and data. In addition, the medium open up a number of new possibilities. Finally, to make sure all these parts function smoothly, good indices of these materials are essential.
