Of Road Maps, Treasure Maps, Weather Maps, and Exploration

Abstract

A couple of sources fresh on the scene might make it easier for both experienced and new Internet users to access, use, and explore the Net A rather hefty tome is The User's Directory of Computer Networks edited by Tracy LaQuey. It is described as a “road atlas” of academic and research networks that “describes and depicts highways and highway interchanges.” It provides in print form both an overview and explanation of many networks, as well as listings of various sites (such as BITNET hosts).
