FARNET Stories Now Available Electronically

    The Federation of American Research Networks (FARNET), in
cooperation with the Coalition for Networked Information,
collected Internet stories that provide concrete examples of how
the network is being used to further research, education,
industry and manufacturing, the health services, industry, and
more.  In February 1993, an international call went out for
submission of stories to be published as "51 Reasons to Build the
National Information Infrastructure."

    An article by JODI HORIGAN, CIT, on Internet use during
Hurricane Andrew, was one of the stories selected for
publication.  Another USDA winner was GABRIEL HEGYES, Sustainable
Agriculture Network Coordinator, National Agricultural Library.
A printed booklet containing all the stories is in progress, and
will be sent to Congressional and other decisionmakers to
reinforce FARNET's contention that Internet is the logical
foundation upon which to build the National Information
Infrastructure.

    "51 Reasons..." is now available on Internet.  See
Almanac/Gopher Instruction Box for retrieval information.
