"Published in October of 2006, the first volume of the ELO’s Electronic Literature Collection anthologizes sixty representative and various works of electronic literature and digital poetry. The collection was selected and edited by four editors: N. Katherine Hayles, Nick Montfort, Scott Rettberg, and Stephanie Strickland. The first major anthology with the designation 'electronic literature,' ELC Vol. 1 contains many vital and pioneering works by eliterature mainstays such as M. D. Coverley, Maria Mencia, J. R. Carpenter, Deena Larsen, Robert Kendall, John Cayley, Michael Joyce, and Shelley Jackson.
A CD-ROM having identical contents was published along with the online collection so that the Volume might 'reach the broadest audience possible and to provide for reading, classroom use, sharing, and reference on and off the network' ELC Vol. 1 About page). Many of the works collected in this first iteration of the ELC are now considered to be foundational works in their genre, or of electronic literature writ large.
The collection is available to view and navigate in four different
formats. First, the main index presents the texts by way of hyperlinked
thumbnail graphics. The works are also sorted variously by author and
title alphabetically, and then categorized by keywords which are also
defined on the keyword index page. This keyword index page, while not
exhaustive, is one of the first glossary-style pages looking to define
the major terms of e-literary study — for example: kinetic, CAVE,
codework, installation, hypertext—for ease of scholarship." -- from the entry by Dana Spinosa on 1/22/2019, Electronic Literature Directory
