UseNet: Netnews for Everyone

Everyone has a need for exchanging information, and USENET an important part of the electronic Internet is a valuable, and powerful, tool for exchanging information informally, worldwide, among people with like interests on any subject imaginable. The available books on the Internet, however, touch only briefly on USENET and often at a level beyond the grasp of the average, non-technical individual. This volume is the first book to focus exclusively on the USENET not on the entire Internet. It introduces the non-technical, everyday person to the concept of electronic information exchange via USENET newsgroups showing how to make contact, how to use the it, and what newsgroups are available. It thus serves as a stepping stone for non- technical people to the Information Superhighway. Provides an introduction to the concept of the USENET and its newsgroups (how people use newsgroups, rather than just how newsgroups work); explains how conversations are structured and distributed; contains an all inclusive list of what newsgroups are available; and shows how to get access to the USENET.Fristrup, Jenny A. is the author of 'UseNet: Netnews for Everyone' with ISBN 9780131231672 and ISBN 0131231677.
