RFC 1175                   FYI - Bibliography                August 1990


1.  Introduction

1a. Background and Purpose

   On 1 June 1989, several members of the IETF User Services Working
   Group convened an interim working group session at the JVNC
   Supercomputer Center in Princeton, NJ.  The purpose of the meeting
   was to form a distinct working group that would assemble a
   bibliography of useful information about the Internet for end users
   and for those who help end users.  The first official meeting of the
   User Documents Working Group was held at the Stanford IETF in July
   1989.  The goal of the working group was to prepare a bibliography of
   on-line and hard copy documents, reference materials, and multimedia
   training tools that address general networking information and "how
   to use the Internet".  The target audience was beginner level and
   intermediate level end users.

1b. Scope

   This bibliography is the result of volunteer work provided by members
   of the User Documents Working Group.  The intent of this effort is to
   present a representative collection of materials that will help the
   reader become familiar with the concepts of internetworking and will
   form the basis for future study.  This is, quite simply, a good place
   to start.  References to other sources of information within this
   collection of materials will be useful to readers who wish to pursue,
   in greater depth, the issues and complexities of the current
   networking environment.  Please send comments to us-wg@nnsc.nsf.net.

1c. Organization of Document

   categories of material, and each category is presented in a separate
