(Doherty's Thread)
Lots of people have written nice (and some not-so-nice) things about
Kairos. For instance, in their ground-breaking 1997 college textbook
Writing the Information Superhighway, William Condon and Wayne
Butler labeled Kairos "extraordinarily hip and helpful." Teague used
Kairos' original design as the basis for his successful 1997 book,
How to Program HTML Frames: Interface Design and JavaScript.
Several other
books have cited Kairos articles, crossing the once-impossible digital
academic divide in the other direction.
More to the point though, the journal as a whole has been reviewed online
many times, many ways. Though many of these reviews are no longer available,
some are.
Frankly, the volatility of external links is one of the great
challenges we never completely mastered in publishing an online-only journal,
but here's a list of just a few external links that —
active as of this writing, as
2001 turns into 2002 — you might find applicable to the story told
here.

Journal Review (Northern Arizona U.):
"I hope you will stop by Kairos and seek out the material
that benefits you in your rite of passage through Graduate School."
There are other examples, both positive and negative ... and, we hope,
many more as yet unwritten.
