(Message 2) From: Charlotte Mooers To: Resource-guide-lists: ; cc: nnsc@NNSC.NSF.NET Subject: Internet Resource Guide ANNOUNCEMENT 92:2 Updated entries Reply-to: resource-guide-request@NNSC.NSF.NET Date: Tue, 01 Sep 92 16:16:26 -0400 Sender: nnsc@NNSC.NSF.NET The NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) is pleased to announce second distribution of entries for the Internet Resource Guide -- this time of updated entries only. This message is a general announcement sent to the combined FTP, PostScript and Text lists. It is also an announcement message for the FTP (announcements only) list. 1. Distribution of updated entries. Today the Internet Resource Guide announces 12 updated entries, each of which is available as a PostScript and a Text (ASCII) file. In addition, the ftp help file, "README", and the file-list, "index-resource-guide", have been updated. The files intro1.ps, section1-2.ps and section 1-16.ps were sent on Friday, August 28. The corresponding .txt files are being sent today. We will send the rest of the updated entries listed here to the Postscript and Text mailing lists, starting tomorrow, with three or four entries per day, to avoid overburdening mailboxes. These will be followed by "README" and "index-resource-guide", and then by another announcement and more updated and new entries. resource-guide/chapter.1 (Computational Resources) intro1.ps (Update) Chapter 1: Computational Resources intro1.txt section1-2.ps (Update) Cornell Theory Center, Cornell National Supercomputer Facility section1-2.txt section1-16.ps (Update) NCSC - North Carolina Supercomputing Center section1-16.txt resource-guide/chapter.2 (Library Catalogs) section2-1.ps (Update) Boston University Library Catalog section2-1.txt section2-16.ps (Update) LUIS - Northwestern University Online Catalog section2-16.txt section2-18.ps (Update) NOTIS/LUIS - University of Illinois at Chicago section2-18.txt section2-6.ps (Update) MIRLYN - MIchigan Resource LibrarY Network section2-6.txt section2-24.ps (Update) POLYCAT - Online Catalog, Kennedy Library, California Polytechnic State University section2-24.txt section2-25.ps (Update) OASIS - University of Iowa Libraries section2-25.txt resource-guide/chapter.3 (Data Archives) section3-1.ps (Update) GENE-SERVER section3-1.txt section3-23.ps (Update) Unidata - NSF-funded Software for Universities section3-23.txt resource-guide/chapter.5 (Networks and E-mail Gateways) section5-17.ps (Update) SURAnet - Southeastern Universities Research Association Network section5-17.txt 2. Updates and Name Changes for Intro and FTP Files As we announced previously, in response to suggestions from several subscribers, we have changed our filenames so that each "intro" file is unique. As soon as we finished sending out the current set of new and updated entries, we will distribute the updated "intro.." files through the PostScript and Text mailing lists. Meanwhile, we will keep the "intro.." files roughly in step with the updated entries so that you can retrieve them by anonymous FTP. In the near future, we will announce updates to the tarred and compressed files that allow you to FTP chapters or the whole guide at one time. See README for more information. 4. Wanted: New Entries for the Resource Guide. The NNSC is actively seeking new entries for the Resource Guide. Yesterday, we sent a solicitation the IETF list, and we plan to send to other lists. If you know of a resource that should be included, please send a message to "resource-guide@nnsc.nsf.net" and we will be happy to send instructions and a template to the address you suggest. ---The NNSC Staff ******************************************************************************* NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) Hotline: 617/873-3400 10 Moulton Street Email: nnsc@nnsc.nsf.net Cambridge, MA 02138 Info-Server requests to: info-server@nnsc.nsf.net *******************************************************************************
