LIBRARY CATALOGS IV. DISCUSSION LISTS I. INTRODUCTION This listing contains a variety of Internet sites and protocols. In order to simplify the listing, I have used the URL format for all sites. The first portion of the URL provides the protocol (telnet, ftp, http, etc.), the second portion provides the domain name. The path is also provided for specific sections or documents on the Internet. Internet sites are listed by agency or topic. Use telnet, gopher, ftp, or http commands to access the following sites. Multiple protocols are listed with WWW addresses first followed by other protocols if available. Login passwords for telnet sites are provided when known. To obtain government documents and information on ftp sites, use the ftp command and login as anonymous and use your e-mail address as your password. IP addresses are provided when known. The 9th edition of this guide has a number of changes. The detailed indexing is no longer available since this guide available on the Web. It is possible to search this guide through Web search features or using WordPerfect or Word's "find" feature for those who download the file. I have also included some general Internet sites which contain significant listings of government sites. With the development of Internet locators and indexing tools, it is becoming easier to find government information on the Internet. My appreciation to Lee Wexel and Carol Jacobson for their detailed listings of military sites. Thank you also to many who submitted URLs and agency lists. It is difficult to pull together a listing of this detail without the assistance and encouragement of many librarians and Internet surfers. Happy surfing! II.
