INTERNET RESOURCE GUIDE TEMPLATE
INTRODUCTION
The NNSC (NSF Network Service Center) wants new entries for the
Internet Resource Guide. Maybe you can help us!
If you have a resource that you can share on the Internet,
please fill in the enclosed template and send it to
resource-guide@nnsc.nsf.net.
If you know anyone else who might want to make a contribution, please
pass on this message, or send us a note giving us the name of a
contact person.
If you haven't run across the Resource Guide yet, and want a short
overview, send a message to info-server@nnsc.nsf.net with the
following lines in the body of the message:
request: resource-guide
topic: overview
request: end
The Internet Resource Guide has been very well received in the
Internet community, but we know that it needs more entries, and
that is why we ask for your help. Please help us by identifying
worthwhile Internet resources, and by making suggestions about
how the Resource Guide can be more helpful to you.
The NNSC Staff

INTERNET RESOURCE GUIDE TEMPLATE
(1) Name of the Resource
We encourage you to use a combination of a short name or acronym
followed by a longer descriptive name. Example:
COSMIC - Software Distribution Center for NASA
(2) Postal Address
The complete postal address where people can send written
requests for more information.
(3) Email Address
A general or central address, so the information will be as
stable as possible.
(4) Phone
Use a central phone number (again, so the information will be as
stable as possible). Phone numbers for alternate ways of
reaching the central answering service, such as Fax and TDD
(Telecommunication Devices for the Deaf), should be included
here. Example:
Phone: (000) 000-0000
FAX: (000) 000-0000
TDD: (000) 000-0000
Any additional phone numbers may be listed under
Miscellaneous Information (below).
(5) Description
Please try to keep the entire entry within 3 pages.
(6) Network Access
Describe how to access the resource from the Internet. Feel free
to include any additional methods of access such as dial-in,
public data networks, or special protocols.
(7) Who Can Use the <resource>
Give some general guidelines to encourage appropriate use.
(8) Miscellaneous
Information that may be of use to the reader: additional contacts
and phone numbers, related mailing lists, etc.
(9) [NEW] SHORT ONE-LINE Description (no longer than 72 characters)
Try to make the first words categorize the Resource as quickly
and uniquely as possible so that your Resource can be readily
identified by searchers. Example:
COSMIC software, NASA-funded. 1400+ programs. Free abstracts, searches.
(10) [NEW AND OPTIONAL] References
References to documents about the Resource that are available (by
anonymous FTP or electronic mail) from the Resource host, or from
some other well-known source of documents on the Internet. These
documents must be maintained by the Resource staff.
