> Temple University computer users can now access dozens of sources
> of current government information -- Census data, Supreme Court
> decisions, weather forecasts, the Federal Register, daily White
> House press briefings, Bureau of Commerce economic reports and
> much more -- free from their homes and offices 24 hours a day or
> at Paley Library.
> 
> Though the U.S. government has been criticized for not making
> more information available online to the public, enterprising
> computer users nationwide are taking advantage of the fact that
> works produced by the U.S. government are not eligible for
> copyright protection and have themselves made a wealth of
> information available via the Internet. More and more government
> agencies too are beginning to establish systems that can be
> accessed remotely by anyone with a computer and access to the
> network.
> 
> In many cases, there are significant advantages to the sources
> than can be accessed online over what can be found in the library
> or via other means. Internet resources are often more up-to-date
> than their paper counterparts. Frequently, they can be searched
> by keyword. Sometimes they provide information that is simply not
> available in more traditional formats. A word of warning is
> necessary, though. Internet resources are constantly changing.
> What is available one minute may not be available the next.
> Source and file names are often changed without notice.
> 
> This is the first in what is hoped to be a continuing series of
> guides to Internet sources of government information. To access
> most of the sources listed using the information supplied, you
> must have an IBM mainframe or Astro account, or some other method
> for accessing the Internet. Contact Temple Computer Services at
> 204-5555 to apply for an IBM or Astro account, or to learn more
> about the Internet. A few of the sources listed can be accessed
> without an account by using the Gopher or Telnet services
> available through the Scholars Information Center at Paley
> Library.
> 
> The sources in this guide are intended to provide the simplest
> and clearest route known to the information provided. The
> preferred source is often a Gopher source because of the ease of
> using the Gopher software. Often, however, there are several
> sources for the same information. Some may allow more
> sophisticated file manipulation. Frequently files can be
> transferred to your personal computer using a feature known as
> file transfer protocol (ftp). Many files accessible via Gopher,
> moreover, are also available using a Telnet command.
> 
> The "source" listed is the "address" of the remote computer where
> the information described can be found, along with the "path"
> that a user must take to locate the particular directory or file
> that contains the information. When more than one source for the
> same information is known, a second source may be listed. Slashes
> in the source separate commands, steps, or levels in a menu
> hierarchy. The first part of any source listing is a command
> statement that must be executed to access the remote source of
> the information. Type the first part of the source listing, up to
> any slashes, and press the Enter key. If there are no slashes,
> type the entire phrase.
