The type and variety of information resources available on the Internet - the worldwide matrix of interconnected computer networks - is expanding all the time. Knowing where to turn for a guide to what is available and how to get it is a challenging enterprise. This annual directory offers a guide to the full range of Internet-accessible data files - from artifical intelligence to women's studies, from space exploration to rock music, from environmental studies to AIDS research. Listed in this book are nearly 6000 special-interest mailing lists, electronic journals, text and software archives, community-wide information systems and commercial companies offering electronic shopping and other products and services over the net.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Trying to maneuver through the Internet is like deep-sea diving for pearls. First you have to locate an oyster bed, then you have to start opening oysters to find a pearl. This manual from Internet World is a map to the Internet beds; it's up to the reader to skim for pearls. Like Internet: Mailing Lists, 1993 (Professional Reading, LJ 5/15/93), it serves as a guide to "a mind-boggling array of information, services, and resources" on the Internet, listing Internet and Usenet discussion groups, electronic journals, selected FTP sites, various freenets, and WAIS (wide area information servers)-accessible databases. This is a useful place to prepare for your next pearl-diving adventure.
