RFC 1175 FYI - Bibliography August 1990
1. Introduction
1a. Background and Purpose
On 1 June 1989, several members of the IETF User Services Working
Group convened an interim working group session at the JVNC
Supercomputer Center in Princeton, NJ. The purpose of the meeting
was to form a distinct working group that would assemble a
bibliography of useful information about the Internet for end users
and for those who help end users. The first official meeting of the
User Documents Working Group was held at the Stanford IETF in July
1989. The goal of the working group was to prepare a bibliography of
on-line and hard copy documents, reference materials, and multimedia
training tools that address general networking information and "how
to use the Internet". The target audience was beginner level and
intermediate level end users.
1b. Scope
This bibliography is the result of volunteer work provided by members
of the User Documents Working Group. The intent of this effort is to
present a representative collection of materials that will help the
reader become familiar with the concepts of internetworking and will
form the basis for future study. This is, quite simply, a good place
to start. References to other sources of information within this
collection of materials will be useful to readers who wish to pursue,
in greater depth, the issues and complexities of the current
networking environment. Please send comments to .
1c. Organization of Document

categories of material, and each category is presented in a separate
