Title

¬The poor man's Internet : reaching the networks with e-mail only

Source

Aslib proceedings. 45(1993) nos.7/8, S.201-207

Year

1993

Abstract

The Internet normally allows for 3 kinds of interactions. The first is electronic mail, the second is the facility to search OPACs and the third is to retrieve files (text, data and software) from public servers with the ftp command. Data Mail only allows for e-mail. Shows how despite these shortcomings, e-mail opens up many opportunities for interacting with colleagues, finding information and continuous professional development. Discusses the world of electronic networks; how to access the Internet; electronic journals and newsletters; short case study of the advantages to the coporate librarian; advanced uses of the Internet and information management issues
