Consumer Guides to the Infobahn

The U.S. Department of Education's most recent Consumer Guides provide useful roadmaps to the information superhighway for educators and students alike. Designed by OERI's National Institute on the Education of At-Risk Students, these Guides not only serve OERI's general audience but also introduce professionals serving the at-risk community to the information highway.

Available Guides include:

• Gopher It! Accessing Department of Education Grant Information on the Internet (No. 11) identifies the best gopher locations for the latest information on grants and contracts;

• USENET Newsgroups (No. 12) describes the education-related discussion groups to which readers can post messages across the Internet and other computer networks;

• Gopher It! Information On-Line at the U.S. Department of Education (No. 13) features ED's on-line gopher server; and

• An Introduction to the Internet (No. 14) explains how to access the Internet, what information is available, and certain pitfalls to avoid; and

• Using the Internet: World Wide Web Pages Featuring Education (No. 15) features ED's on-line gopher server.
