+ This bibliography offers a short list of recent information resources
+ that will help the network novice become familiar with the Internet,

+ This FYI RFC includes references to free sources of information
+ available on-line as well as traditional publications. A short
+ section at the end includes information for accessing the on-line
+ files. This FYI is intentionally brief so it can be easily used as a
+ handout by user services personnel.

+
+ This document is based upon the work of the User Documents Working
+ Group in the User Services Area of the Internet Engineering Task
+ Force (IETF).

+Bibliography of Introductory Readings

+ The following list includes a number of sources for learning about
+ the Internet. If you have more questions about the Internet, the
+ best source of information is your network service provider. For
+ those interested in finding out about getting Internet connectivity,
+ the books listed will help you locate a network service provider.
