Product Description

From the Back Cover

The Complete Cyberspace Reference and Directory An Addressing and Utilization Guide to the Internet, Electronic Mail Systems, and Bulletin Board Systems Gilbert Held This comprehensive guide provides readers with everything they need to know to access and navigate the "Information Superhighway", including:

How to transmit and receive information electronically, via a variety of electronic messaging services, bulletin boards, and the Internet
What information is available electronically, and where to find it

Beginning where most references end, The Complete Cyberspace Reference and Directory starts with a comprehensive glossary of terms, definitions and abbreviations, which serves as an excellent introduction to the vast amount of information that the book provides. From there, the book discusses the procedures for electronic communications via a variety of channels, such as Internet FTP, Internet Telnet, CompuServe E–mail, and MCI Mail. Each chapter begins with a tutorial on using an electronic information system and then continues with a comprehensive listing of the information resources that users can access via the system. Over 10,000 electronic addresses — including more than 1,000 anonymous FTP sites and 300 libraries — are provided, making The Complete Cyberspace Reference and Directory the most complete resource currently available. Whether you are already an experienced traveler on the electronic highway, or are just embarking on your first trip, The Complete Cyberspace Reference and Directory will give you all the information you need for a swift and prosperous journey. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
