Notes: This slim book does an excellent job of helping those new to
Cyberspace learn the basic tenants of network etiquette, or "netiquette".
It's easy to read and loaded with interesting real-life examples. Chapters
cover netiquette of e-mail and of discussion groups as well as providing
excellent netiquette guidelines for business, home and school use.
Particularly useful sections cover Electronic Style (looking good online,
tone of voice and signature files) and the "core rules" of the online
world. One chapter covers copyright issues and another the etiquette of e-
mail privacy. There's even a tiny chapter on "Love & Sex in Cyberspace".
This book should be required reading for anyone collecting their Internet
Learner's Permit. (You can retrieve a brief excerpt from Netiquette: "The
Core Rules of Netiquette" by sending e-mail to netiquette-
request@albion.com with the words "archive send core" in the subject line.)

Notes: Of the various Internet White and Yellow pages books out there, this
one looks and acts the most like a "real" telephone book: personal listings
of your name and e-mail address are free, advertising space in the yellow
pages section is available for a fee, and the book itself it distributed
for free. With only a few thousand names in the first edition, this listing
is hardly the most complete, but it only contains information about people
who choose to be listed.

navigating with Internet tools, and hundreds of Internet accessible
