Description of Working Group:

The USER-DOC Working Group will revise a bibliography of on-line and
hard copy documents/reference materials/training tools addressing
general networking information and "how to use the Internet" (RFC
1175, FYI 3). This effort will also be used to help locate
documentation produced by other organizations and available for
distribution on the Internet.  The target audience is those
individuals who provide services to end users and end users
themselves. 
 
A segment of the document will 1) Identify and categorize useful
documents/reference materials/training tools, 2) Publish both an
on-line and hard copy of this bibliography, 3) Develop and implement
procedures to maintain and update the bibliography and investigate
methods to provide the information in an online format.  4) As a part
of the update process, identify new materials for inclusion into the
active bibliography.  5) Review procedures for periodic review of the
bibliography by USWG.
