Hello All,
 
This message is being cross-posted so please forgive if you are on
both Maps-L and Geonet-L.  There was a recent request for information
on how to find USGS information.  If you have access to a Gopher
system, you might want to look for them on Gopher.  They have a
substantial amount of map data available for FTP.  Their phone book
is also available.  Below, you will find the routes that I go through
to get to USGS (I actually have them bookmarked).  Your system may or
may not be organized like our's, so you may have to go exploring.

Start Gopher
Select Gopher Servers World Wide
        Select Gopher Jewels (Gopher by subject category)
        Select the Geology & Oceanography subject category.
        USGS is entered as US Geological Survey (USGS)
 
For the USGS Telephone Book
Select Campus Phone Books World Wide
        Select Other Institutions (not your own campus)
        Select North America
        Keep Paging down to the U's and you will find USGS.
 
I have used the phone book system several times in response to patron
requests.  It even has e-mail addresses!
