You may use this for any educational, personal, or non-profit purpose. For-profit distribution requires my permission. Provided "as is" without expressed or implied warranty. PURPOSE to collect, organize, and present information describing the Internet and computer-mediated communication technologies, applications, culture, discussion forums, and bibliographies. Areas of interest include the technical, social, rhetorical, cognitive, and psychological aspects of networked communication and information. AUDIENCE those getting started in understanding the Internet and CMC; for those experienced, it compactly summarizes sources of information. ASSUMPTION you have access to and know how to use finger, ftp, gopher, http, telnet, email, or Usenet newsgroups. NOTES 1. Respect access privileges. (See Net Etiquette Guide, below.) 2. This information changes quite a bit; Additions/comments welcome. 3. Use Archie, veronica, or a Web spider to find a file if it is not at the site given here. 4. Learn to use Gopher, Veronica, WAIS, WWW, to find more information. 5. When using with WWW/Mosaic, sometimes an ftp link will not work; if it doesn't, try to access via ftp manually. How to Use this segmented hypertext version I call this version "segmented" hypertext because it has been generated from a database to create "segments" (pages), containing the same information, but of varying length to allow for flexible browsing and retrieval. You have access to the information on this list in a variety of segment sizes---either entire sections, sub-sections, or sub-sub-sections. Similarly, the table of contents can be viewed at varying levels of detail. 1. The top of every page has a title bar with these options: + Information Sources Takes you to the page you are reading now + Table of contents: o 1-level This shows the headers for just the sections; clicking on a section titles will bring up a page with all the text for that section. o 2-level This shows the headers for the sections and sub-sections; clicking on of the sub-section titles will bring up a page with only the text for that sub-section. In this same list, the section titles are available, which will give you all the text for the entire section. o 3-level This shows the headers for sections, sub-sections, and sub-sub-sections. Clicking on a sub-sub-section title will bring up a page with only the text for that sub-sub-section. In this list, the sub-section and section titles are available, and work just as described above. + CUI Catalog This Catalog, developed by Oscar Nierstrasz (formerly of) the Centre Universitaire d'Informatique (CUI), l'Universite de Geneve, uses the full-page version of this Information Sources list in its search engine (along with other lists). Therefore, you can use CUI Web Catalog as handy index to quickly find keyword matches in this document. Caveat: the CUI catalog does not index resources in my document such as an entry for a paper-based source or a email resource that does not include a URL. 2. More information on other formats and supporting documents for this information is in the About this Information section. 3. As a "front door" to this list, I think the 2-level table of contents works well, giving enough information, but not too long of a list. 4. The footer of every page has the last date this information was updated and the release number. 5. If you want to, you can go to the whole list in one file. *** -- SELECT 'THE WHOLE LIST' TO MOVE ON TO ACTIVITY #10 - #14 or use the searchable tables below. _________________________________________________________________ John December (decemj@rpi.edu) -- This list is also searchable via the following two mechanisms: *** [IMAGE] CMC Information Sources / 1-level, 2-level, 3-level / CUI Cat _________________________________________________________________ CMC INFORMATION SOURCES SEARCH FORM This form allows you to search the entire CMC Information sources database for keywords.

I'm continuing development of this text for future courses and tutorials. My goal is to give students introductory and reference information, as well as tools for further exploring. I'm always testing the usability of this text. I welcome comments. _________________________________________________________________ Overview The Internet is a cooperatively-run collection of networks linking tens of millions of people at commercial, government, educational, and private networks around the globe. Because of this connectivity and diversity, the Internet is a vast resource for communication and information. The Internet grows rapidly--with streams of new services, information, and communication continuously introduced. This text gives you a launching point for learning about, exploring, and searching the Internet. First, you'll need to get an idea what the Internet is and what you can do on it with an o Internet orientation. You can go through o guides to using the Internet and find out step-by-step things you will have to go through to get connected to and use the Internet. A collection of o Internet reference material gives you lists, indexes, and information repositories that point you to information about the Internet. You can use tools for o Internet exploring and browsing to see and hear what resides in the information spaces on the Internet. If you are looking for information about a particular subject, or subject-oriented information and guides can point you in the right direction. If you have a key-word in mind about information you are looking for, or if you are looking for a person or a machine at a particular institution or geographic region, you can use o word-oriented searching tools. If you want to o connect with people, you can use a variety of forums for synchronous and asynchronous communication.

WHO PRESS RELEASES ON EBOLA IN ZAIRE Press Release WHO/52 4 July 1995 EBOLA EPIDEMIC IN ZAIRE COULD BE OVER BY SEPTEMBER, SAYS WHO DIRECTOR-GENERAL It is possible that the outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever in Zaire could be officially declared at an end in the next two months, Dr Hiroshi Nakajima, Director-General of the World Health Organization said today. Dr Nakajima was speaking after returning to WHO's headquarters in Geneva yesterday from a fact-finding mission to Zaire. "I hope that we will be able to announce that the epidemic is over by the end of September, and perhaps sooner," Dr Nakajima said. "However, before we can do that, a period equal to twice the maximum incubation period of the disease - that is, 42 days - needs to have passed from the date of recovery or burial of the last case, with no new cases identified through active searching. We are now counting one day at a time" . 3. U.S.A.

A bachelor's or higher degree in a specific feild is the entry-level requirement., 2. The degree requirement for the job offered is accepted throughout the industry, 3. The duties and responsibilities of the position offered are so complex that a university degree is required, and 4. The level of responsibility involved in the position is generally associated with professional status. Commonly accepted groups of "specialty occupations" include but are not limited to: foreign Engineers, Computer Analysts, Doctors, Scientists, Architects, Management Consultants, and Market Research Analysts. Business managers and executives are not considered to be involved in "specialty occupations" for H-1 visa purposes. 4. PRIMER ON RHEUMATIC DISEASES Rheumatic diseases include a variety of different conditions. However they all have in common that they relate to joints and the surrounding tissues such as ligaments, tendons and muscles. They can involve other, seemingly unrelated organs aswell, such as eyes, skin and glands. Rheumatic diseases are usually divided into those that primarily involve joints, known as Arthritis, and those involving other tissues, called Connective Tissue Diseases. Arthritis is further subdivided into Inflammatory and Non-Inflammatory Arthritis. 5.
