NTIS FedWorld now has a World Wide Web site that can be accessed using
any of the common Web clients, like Mosaic, Cello and Lynx by pointing
your client at http://www.fedworld.gov.
>From the FedWorld homepage, you can browse a list of more than 100 U.S.
Government information servers, each sorted by NTIS Subject catagories.
In addition, there is limited information on the services provided by
NTIS, as well as access to many of the free files that are available
from the dialup/telnet FedWorld interface.
The FedWorld homepages are being updated and improved on an almost daily
basis, so if you aren't impressed yet, you will be later! We expect that
depository library access to the NTIS Biliographic Database Preview File
to be first available from the FedWorld Web site. Access to the
Preview File from the telnet/dialup site will follow in the very near
future. While the public will be able to browse and search the abstracts
in the Preview File for free, registered depository libraries will be
able to select documents that were not available under Title 44.
Imformation on how to register will be posted to Govdoc-L in the
coming weeks.
FedWorld Telnet/FTP Site News
The FedWorld Telnet site now supports up to 50 simultaneous connections.
Telnet to fedworld.gov or use the actual I.P. address of 192.239.92.201.
If all 50 connections are in use, you will be put onto a list to wait for
the next available connection.
Please remember that all free files that are on the telnet site can be
transferred using File Transfer Protocol from ftp.fedworld.gov
(192.239.92.205). Directories at the FTP site have the same names as the
Libraries at the Telnet site. Each FTP directory has a <directory name>.LST
file that lists a description of each file in that directory. This list
file is updated every morning.
White House documents available from the telnet site can now be searched
using keywords assigned by artificial intelligence software at MIT.
>From the W-house Library of Files menu, select option F (find files)
and then option K (search by keyword). Keywords tend to be very
general - security, world and order, economy, healthcare, crime, state
names, executive and act, etc..
Starting this week, NTIS will accept orders to access the Department of
Labor's Service Contract Act (SCA) database on FedWorld. For
subscription information on the SCA database, please call (703)487-4630.
