Internet Resources from MCLI

The following resources have been found to be both useful and informative for the novice and intermediate Internet user.

Internet Explorer's Toolkit (1992)

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.

The Internet Tour - HyperCard 2 stack

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.
