Libraries FAQ
Section 1.0 Introduction

1.2 Where can I find the Libraries FAQ?
1.3 How can I contribute to the Libraries FAQ?
1.4 What other FAQs might interest librarians and researchers?
1.1 What is a FAQ?
FAQ is an acronym for Frequently Asked Questions (or, as some have
suggested, Frequently ANSWERED Questions), a periodic posting of
information regularly requested on Usenet newsgroups. FAQs posted to
news.answers are archived at
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers. Hypertext versions of
posted FAQs can be found at:
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/top.html
The Libraries FAQ arose out of questions asked on soc.libraries.talk
and other library related newsgroups. It is a collection of basic
information regarding libraries and librarianship and an introductory
guide to library resources on the Internet.
1.2 Where can I find the latest version of the Libraries FAQ?
The Libraries FAQ is posted on the 16th of every other month to
news.answers, soc.answers and soc.libraries.talk. It is archived at:
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/books/library-faq
A continually updated hypertext version of the Libraries FAQ can be
found at the Libraries FAQ Homepage:

1.3 How can I contribute to the Libraries FAQ?
The Libraries FAQ has benefited enormously from the input of its
readers. Your comments concerning updates, additions, or corrections
to the FAQ are always welcome. I would especially like to hear about
important library resources outside the US and Canada. Please send
suggestions to Anthony Wilson (
[email protected]).
The Libraries FAQ was created by Steve Bergson
(

Libraries FAQ,
