See the bottom for more information, including instructions on how to obtain updates.) === INTERNET RESOURCES: U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INFORMATION Release 0.5, October 1993 Compiled/copyright by Maggie Parhamovich (magoo@nevada.edu), Government Documents, Dickinson Library, University of Nevada Las Vegas. This document is available via anonymous ftp at the University of Nevada (ftp nevada.edu directory /liaison). This guide was compiled primarily for librarians who provide reference assistance for U.S. Government Documents and contains telnet, gopher and ftp sites which may assist in providing reference service for library patrons who need government information. It is impossible to fully index Internet sites and I recommend utilizing Veronica, Archie and gopher servers to locate more information. FreeNets also provide easy access to government information especially for local and state information. A new feature on the gopher at the University of Syracuse is Oliver which provides easy access to many U.S. government sites and gophers. Also, check out the NST and USDA Gophers which provide easy access to many U.S. government databases. Government information, especially electronic is constantly changing and I welcome any corrections and suggestions. A word about gophers; if I know the telnet address and password for a gopher I have included login instructions. However, I recommend you "point your gopher client" to other gophers instead of using telnet. This not only facilitates login but may also be easier to use. Your computing services can provide you with information on your institution's gopher capabilities. Original funding and research was conducted with the support of ALA/USIA Fellows Program. As a Fellow to Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia and the University of New Brunswick, Canada I conducted a number of workshops on U.S. government information. I appreciate the support of the ALA/USIA Fellows Program which provided the opportunity and time necessary to investigate electronic government information.

New on this edition: the list moves from Dalhousie University to UNLV and will be placed on a ftp site. Also, I have added some discussion lists and am particulary interested in local government documents discussion lists. I hope to add to the Library Catalogs section in the next edition with more catalogs which maintain a separate documents catalog. This list has grown almost beyond what is reasonable and I am seeing increases in the number and availablity of government gophers. I see this as a positive development as more information becomes accessible on the net and easier to find. Please forward any changes and corrections to me directly.

Detweiler) will help others unfamiliar with Usenet `publish' their documents for widespread dissemination via the FAQ structure, and act as a `sponsor' knowledgable in the submissions process. This document is being distributed under this arrangement. I have found these compilations tend to appear on various mailing lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider distribution. If you know of an existing compilation of Internet information that is not currently a FAQ, please contact me and I may `sponsor' it. The benefits to the author include: - use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution: - automated mail server service - FTP archival - automated posting - a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy, and coverage of the document enormously through email feedback - potential professional inquiries for the use of your document in other settings, such as newsletters, books, etc. - with me as your sponsor, I will also take care of the technicalities in the proper format of the posted version and updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' to focus on the basic updates alone Send comments relating to the *distribution* of this document (particularly relevant newsgroups not currently covered in its current distribution) or inquiries on other documents to <tmp@lamar.acns.colostate.edu>. The choice of who I `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always have the option of handling the submission process yourself. See the FAQ submission guidlines FAQ in news.answers.
