Date: Wed, 8 Feb 1995 11:16:49 -0600 From: BITNET list server at UA1VM (1.8a) Subject: File: "NEAT LESSON" 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 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 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 menu: Remote Information Servers 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: Through FTP: address: ftp.lib.berkeley.edu path: /pub/net.training/FAU/Netiquette.txt Through Gopher: address: TRAINMAT.NCL.AC.UK to menu: Networking Guides to menu: Other networking guides ... to document: Rinaldi ... address: GOPHER.IC.MANKATO.MN.US to menu: Information Booth ... to document: Netiquette Explained ... address: ESUSDA.GOV to menu: Internet Services and Information to menu: Using the Internet to document: Netiquette ... Through WWW: http://rs6000.adm.fau.edu/faahr/arlene.html 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.
