Crossing the Internet threshold : an instructional handbook by Roy Tennant( Book )

41 editions published between 1992 and 1995 in English and held by 1,106 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This handbook is addressed to people who have access to the Internet and want to learn how to use it and to people who want to teach Internet skills to others. It includes the content of a 14-hour training institute and beginning and advanced level exercises, as well as discussion topics, sample overheads and other materials, and a checklist of reminders for trainers. Introductory materials provide a conceptual framework oriented to users. The easiest methods for using the Internet are explained clearly and concisely and will work, in most cases, for everyone who can log on to an Internet-connected computer. Chapters are designed to stand alone so that users can choose which of the resources they wish to pursue. Topics covered are: (1) information needed by beginners, including a glossary, instructions on getting connected, Internet service providers, and a bibliography; (2) electronic mail, including listservs and electronic journals; (3) Internet remote login (Telnet) and Internet file transfer protocol (ftp); and (4) fact sheets on other resources, such as Archie, Gopher, Hytelnet, Usenet News, and Wide Area Information Servers (wais). Three graphics showing the extent and organization of the network are appended. (Krn)

Thirteen libraries share their experiences with using XML to encode, transfer, process, and store data in their digital records. Each chapter lists the project goals and justifications, challenges encountered, successes and failures, and lessons learned. The contributors explain how specific tasks were accomplished, cite snippets of code when they are particularly useful or illustrative, and provide links to further resources. The projects include updating MARC records with XMLMARC, creating a unified e-government portal, publishing book online, and transforming work processing documents into XML.

Internet basics, update 1996 by Roy Tennant( Book )

2 editions published in 1996 in English and held by 79 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This update to a previous digest briefly describes the Internet computer network, the physical connections and communication protocols that make it possible, and the applications and information resources the network provides. The applications covered include electronic mail and listservs, the world wide web, telnet connections with remote library catalogs or databases, and file transfer protocol (FTP). Often barriers of distance, time, and cost that are significant with other forms of electronic communication are not as significant on the Internet because it accesses systems quickly regardless of proximity and because institutional users are not usually charged by level of use. Moreover, getting connected to the Internet is often not even as expensive as getting cable television. The Internet continues to evolve through formal standards development and individual or corporate software creation and enhancement. (BEW)
