- NNSC Announces New Edition
-
- The NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) began to publish
- the "Internet Resource Guide" in 1989. Its goal is to
- increase the visibility of the resources that are accessible
- via NSFNET and other parts of the Internet. It depends
- on the population of resource providers on the Internet to
- furnish the NNSC with the information for the guide.
-
- The NNSC has recently finished an extensive update of many of the
- entries to the Guide, constituting a
- new November 1992 edition. Charlotte Moors <nnsc@nnsc.nsf.net> who
- performs most of this work under the current contract arrangement
- with BBN hopes the
- guide will inspire its readers to submit descriptions
- of their resources for the guide.
-
- If you wish to submit a new entry to the Internet Resource
- Guide, send a message to <resource-guide@nnsc.nsf.net>, and
- the NNSC will send you a template and instructions for preparing
- your entry.
-
- The Internet Resource Guide is intended to help Internet
- users learn what services on the network are available to
- them. Each service is listed in a separate section, which
- describes the resource, explains who can use the resource,
- how the network is reached via the Internet and lists contacts
- for more information.
-
- The guide is distributed electronically by the NNSC. To get
- on one or more of the distribution lists for the guide, send
- a note to <resource-guide-request@nnsc.nsf.net>.
