Hi,
I think Dianne is right that the list was started by the Wellcome Trust - the Trust's Information Service in fact. In terms of dates, I'm pretty sure that it was while I was at the Trust, so some time between 1995 and 1999.
I seem to remember that it was originally based upon a very useful bibliography of new papers and books on science communication that the Information Service used to produce on a monthly basis.
Now I feel really old!
best wishes
Melanie
