Scout Report
The Scout Report is a weekly publication offered by InterNIC Information
Services to the Internet community as a fast, convenient way to stay
informed about network activities. Its purpose is to combine in one place
the highlights of new (and newly-discovered) online resources and other
announcements seen on the Internet during the preceding week.
A wide range of topics is included in the Report with an emphasis on
resources thought to be of interest to the research and education
community, the InterNIC's primary audience. Each resource has been
verified for substantial content and accessibility within a day of the
release of the Report.
The Scout Report is provided in multiple formats -- electronic mail,
gopher, and World Wide Web. The gopher and World Wide Web versions of the
Report include links to all listed resources. The Report is released every
Friday. Complete access instructions are included below this week's Report.
Comments and contributions to the Scout Report are encouraged and can be
sent to scout at internic.net
