The Clearinghouse for Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides
The University of Michigan's University Library and School of Information
and Library Studies are sponsoring a new Clearinghouse for
Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides. The goals of the Clearinghouse
are to serve as a common location for the many subject-oriented guides now
produced by citizens of the Internet, and to increase use of these guides
by providing multiple means of Internet access to them. Current access
tools are anonymous FTP and Gopher (see below for further information).
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE GUIDES include such Internet classics as Not Just Cows
(W. Drew) and The Electric Mystic's Guide to the Internet (M.
Strangelove), as well as guides produced by information and library
studies students at the University of Michigan. We will attempt to make
available all subject-oriented Internet resource guides currently
published via the Internet. The guides have been WAIS-indexed (via
Gopher) for searching.
GUIDE CREATORS: If you are creating a guide to the Internet's resources
in a particular subject, please consider making it available via the
Clearinghouse. Information about how to do this is available from the
Clearinghouse (via FTP and Gopher).
NET TRAINERS may find these guides useful in tailoring Internet workshops
to the interests of specific audiences.
SYSTEMS BUILDERS and LIBRARIANS may find these guides serve as useful
"blueprints" for designing subject-oriented Internet systems (e.g.
branches in Gopher servers).
INTERNET USERS may find these guides useful for narrowing down the number
of resources to investigate; some guides also provide quality assessments
of the resources that the Internet offers.
