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>.
+ The "text" list receives a Text (ASCII) copy of each
new or updated entry in an email message.
+ The "PostScript" list receives a Postscript copy of
each new o updated entry in an email message.
+ The "ftp" list receives announcements of new or
updated entries that are available for anonymous ftp
on <nnsc.nsf.net>.
Please specify which list or lists you prefer.
For more information about the Internet Resource Guide,
including instructions for obtaining the guide by anonymous
ftp, send a message to <info-server@nnsc.nsf.net>, with the
following text in the body of the message:
