+              ESTABLISHING A LOCAL GUIDE FOR NETWORK USAGE
+
+
+     Actual experiences and experimentation with network systems and
+subsystems will be an important supplement to existing NIC
+documentation.  For this reason, MITRE, to facilitate local user
+access to network resources, is planning to establish a local GUIDE TO
+NETWORK USAGE to supplement the Resources Notebook and other NIC
+documentation.  The Guide will be tailored to the needs of MITRE users
+and will contain information on network systems and subsystems.  (We
+cannot precisely define systems and subsystems at this time but as an
+example of what we have in mind, TENNEX at SRI is a system and NLS is
+a subsystem.)
+
+     The Guide will be implemented under NLS in much the same fashion
+as the NIC LOCATOR SYSTEM.  Information gathered that is appropriate
+for the NIC but not yet included will be submitted for inclusion in
+the NIC.
+
+     Attached is an outline of the proposed NLS files for the Guide
+System.  The information included in the Guide will be sufficiently
+detailed to enable local users who are unfamiliar with the network,
+its terminology, and stores of reference material to utilize resources
+at foreign hosts via the network.
+
+     Sites will be included in the Guide as local users gain
+experience with systems and subsystems located at the remote sites.
+Therefore, the sites most likely to be in the Guide will be those that
+can be used to support MITRE projects.
+
+     We are planning to coordinate our efforts in this undertaking
+with a similar effort at the National Bureau of Standards.  We believe
+that such endeavors will result in valuable contributions to the NIC,

+
+particularly to the Network Resources Notebook.  Although the Guide
+will be tailored for MITRE users, it will contain information of
+general interest to other network users and will be made accessible to
+them through NLS.
+
+     The Guide should become operational during December 1971.  Any
+comments on proposed contents of the Guide are welcome.  Anyone
+wishing to cooperate in this effort should contact E. Forman at MITRE.

+     An NLS "Site File" will be built for each site at which a
+resource is presently available to network users at MITRE.  Initial
+files will be for those sites that offer resources that are of
+specific interest to the local community.  A RESOURCE LOCATOR FILE
+will contain a table of contents of the SITE FILES and a list of the
+subsystems surveyed for each of these sites.  The headings in the
+table of contents will contain links to the corresponding online site
+file documents.
