Abstract

   This bibliography offers a short list of recent information resources
   that will help the network novice become familiar with the Internet,
   including its associated networks, resources, protocols, and history.
   This FYI RFC includes references to free sources of information
   available on-line as well as traditional publications.  A short
   section at the end includes information for accessing the on-line
   files.  This FYI is intentionally brief so it can be easily used as a
   handout by user services personnel.

Acknowledgments

   This document is based upon the work of the User Documents Working
   Group in the User Services Area of the Internet Engineering Task
   Force (IETF).

   the books listed will help you locate a network service provider.
