Catherine McHugh Engstrom and Kevin Krugers book reveals how the widespread use of technology is reshaping the higher education and student affairs landscape.

Concepts like structured query languages, intellectual property infringement, cybernars, technology clusters, computer use policies, MUDs (multi-user domains), MOOs (multi-user domains, object-oriented) and Mushes (multi-user shared hallucinations) require that student affairs educators reconsider their roles and purposes on the college campus.
