- Description of Working Group:
-
-
- The focus of the USER-DOC2 Working Group is on identifying and locating
- documentation about the Internet. A major activity is the revision of
- an existing bibliography of on-line and hard copy documents/reference
- materials/training tools addressing general networking information and
- ``How to use the Internet'' (RFC 1175, FYI 3). This effort will also be
- used to help locate documentation produced by other organizations and
- examine the means by which such documents are made available on the
- Internet. The target audience is those individuals who provide services
- to end users and end users themselves. The Group is also developing a
- new FYI RFC document designed as a very short bibliography targeted at
- novice users.
-
- The USER-DOC2 Working Group will:
-
- (1) Identify and categorize useful documents, reference materials,
- training tools, and other publications about the Internet, particularly
- those available on-line.
-
- (2) Publish on-line and hard copies of the bibliography(s) produced and
- other reference material on documentation as needs are identified.
-
- (3) Develop and implement procedures to maintain and update the
- bibliography and investigate methods to provide the information in an
- on-line format.
-
- (4) As a part of the update process, identify new materials for
- inclusion into the active bibliography and identify additional needs
- which are required for locating documentation and other publications.
-
- (5) Review procedures for periodic review of the bibliography by the
- User Services Working Group.
-
- (6) Examine methods for delivering documentation and work with
- providers to improve the availability of basic Internet documentation.
-
