Internet Resources from MCLI
The following resources have been found to be both useful and
informative for the novice and intermediate Internet user.
NOTES: This is a DOS based hypertext system that contains a collection
of useful text files about using the Internet. The idea behind
development was to save the beginning Internet explorer the many hours
spent in picking up bits and pieces of useful information. It was
designed for a professional librarian user, and is a basic toolkit for
getting up to speed fast in network skills and specialized knowledge.
NOTES: In Cambridge, MA: The Internet Tour was designed by the NSF
Network Service Center as a general introduction to the Internet for the
new network user. It contains information on the history of the
Internet, network etiquette, network applications, Internet resources,
and a glossary of networking terms. This is an excellent overview of
Internet. Easy to use, and understand for first-time users.
The Internet Tour requires HyperCard 2, which in turn requires Macintosh
System 6.0.5 or later.
NOTE: Also try Merit's
Internet Cruise;
requires color Mac with 2 MB RAM

herein is specific to Unix, VMS, or any other environment.
