MAP-EXTRA: NEAT STUFF TO CHECK OUT
"(E)rror of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left
free to combat it." -- Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural
Address (1801)
"Jefferson obviously was never on Usenet." -- Patrick Crispen
The workshop is rapidly drawing to a close. Before I turn you loose
on the Net, there are a few neat sites and resources that I want to
recommend:
EDUPAGE
EDUPAGE is a "summary of news items on information technology,
and is provided three times each week as a service by Educom --
a consortium of leading colleges and universities seeking to
transform education through the use of information technology."
EDUPAGE does not talk about education, but it does give one
paragraph summaries of technology stories printed in leading
newspapers and magazines. (EDUPAGE is a *distribution* list,
much like the Roadmap list. You can't *send* letters to the
EDUPAGE list, you can only *receive* letters from the EDUPAGE
list).
HOW TO GET IT:
Through e-mail: send an e-mail letter to LISTPROC@EDUCOM.EDU
which says SUB EDUPAGE <YOUR NAME> in the body
of your e-mail letter.
NEW-LIST
This LISTSERV list is the place where new LISTSERV lists are
announced. (NEW-LIST is a distribution list, not a discussion
list). If you want to keep up to date on new LISTSERV lists,
NEW-LIST is for you!
HOW TO GET IT:
Through e-mail: send an e-mail letter to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1.BITNET
which says SUBSCRIBE NEW-LIST <YOUR NAME> in
the body of your letter.
SPECIAL INTERNET CONNECTIONS
Also known as "Yanoff's List," this is a list of hundreds of
Internet resources that are available through e-mail, telnet,
FTP, Gopher, Finger, and the Web. This list is ESSENTIAL for
anyone who wants to be a serious net traveler.
HOW TO GET IT:
Through Usenet: alt.internet.services
Through FTP: address: csd4.csd.uwm.edu
path: /pub/inet.services.txt
Through Gopher: address: csd4.csd.uwm.edu

to document: Special Internet Connections
Through e-mail: send a blank e-mail letter to
inetlist@aug3.augsburg.edu
and the address will auto-reply
Through WWW: http://www.uwm.edu/Mirror/inet.services.html
(this is a document with links to all of the
items on the list!)
Through LISTSERV: Subscribe to INETLIST@CSD.UWM.EDU
(remember to send your subscribe command to
the LISTSERV address!!)
DR. BOB'S "ACCESSING THE INTERNET BY E-MAIL"
For those of you with Level One access to the Internet, you should
certainly check out this free file. It talks about how to access
FTP, Archie, Gopher, Veronica, and several other Internet tools
using nothing but e-mail (btw, this is from Dr. Bob Rankin and *not*
from my dad -- the Rev. Bob "Bob" Crispen)
HOW TO GET IT:
Through e-mail: Send an e-mail letter to
LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU which says
GET INTERNET BY-EMAIL NETTRAIN F=MAIL
in the body of your letter.
ARLENE RINALDI's "THE NET: USER GUIDELINES AND NETIQUETTE"
This is the ULTIMATE Internet netiquette guide, and is required
reading for any user who wants to keep from making stupid mistakes.
HOW TO GET IT:

COMPUTER MEDIATED COMMUNICATION (CMC) SOURCES ON THE INTERNET
Also known as December's List, this list is FOUR TIMES as long
as Yanoff's list, and lists pointers to information describing
the Internet, computer networks, and issues related to computer-
mediated communication.
HOW TO GET IT:
Through Usenet: alt.internet.services
alt.answers
news.answers
Through FTP: address: ftp.rpi.edu
path: /pub/communications/internet-cmc.txt
NETTRAIN REVIEWS
James Milles, the author of the "Discussion Lists: Mail Server Commands"
file that I used in MAP06, is also the listowner of the NETTRAIN
LISTSERV list. NETTRAIN is a discussion list for Internet trainers,
and these trainers are often asked by James to review some of the
Internet training books that are available at your local bookstore.
Before you head off to the bookstore and pay upwards of $25.00 for
an Internet book, you might want check the NETTRAIN reviews to see
if the book is REALLY worth the money!
HOW TO GET IT:
Through e-mail: send an e-mail letter to LISTSERV@UBVM.BITNET
which says GET NETTRAIN REVIEWS F=MAIL in the
body of your letter. This will send you an
index of the reviews, and you can then use
the GET command to get the review that you
want (reviews are stored in 4 different files,
so you will need the index to figure out which
file you should get).
RICHARD SMITH'S "NAVIGATING THE INTERNET" AND "LET'S GO GOPHERN" WORKSHOPS
These are the workshops that started it all! Smith's lessons have
taught thousands, and he was the inspiration for the Roadmap workshop.
HOW TO GET IT:
Through FTP: address: ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu
path: /navigate/*
or /gophern/*
Through e-mail: send an e-mail letter to LISTSERV@UBVM.BITNET
which says INDEX NAVIGATE F=MAIL or
INDEX GOPHERN F=MAIL and then use the GET
command to get the files that you want.
Through Gopher: address: wings.buffalo.edu
to menu: Access the Internet ...
to menu: About the Internet, Gopher, etc.
to menu: Navigate the Internet ...
or to menu: Let's Go Gopherin' ...
