- There are several new books out about the Internet, which will answer
- _a lot_ of questions for you about what is on the Internet & how to
- find stuff you are interested in. I suggest that you buy at least one
- of these, whether you are a director of computing services or an Internet
- neophyte. If you can't afford that, suggest them to your librarians.
