The GOALS 2000: Educate America Act -- which President Clinton signed into law on March 31, 1994 -- is now available via Internet in the Education Department (ED) "online library." "This is part of our effort to improve customer service," said U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley. "We are going to be stocking the shelves of our online library, in the months ahead, with information that can help parents and teachers, citizens and students transform their schools and reach the National Education Goals." The library offers the full text of GOALS 2000, and also fact sheets and other information on the Act, which is designed to help America reach the National Education Goals and to move every child toward achieving high academic standards. Other materials available in the department's online library include the National Education Goals Panel 1993 annual report, ED's "helping your child" series for parents, A Teachers Guide to the U.S. Department of Education, various research reports and education statistics compilations, as well as "pointers" to other education resources on the Internet. The department's online library is currently maintained by the Office of Educational Research and Improvement on its Institutional Communications Network (INet). The library also includes: o announcements of new publications and data sets; o news releases; o funding opportunities; o event calendars; o general information about the department; o searchable ED staff directory; o descriptions of ED programs; o directories of effective programs; o directory of education-related information centers; o research findings and syntheses; o full-text publications for teachers, parents, and researchers; o statistical tables, charts, and data sets; o pointers to public Internet resources at R&D centers, regional laboratories, ERIC Clearinghouses, and other ED-funded institutions. Accessing the library requires certain software -- either a Gopher client software or World Wide Web client software (such as NCSA Mosaic or Lynx) -- or you must be able to "telnet" to a public access client elsewhere. If you are using a Gopher client, point it to: gopher.ed.gov or select "North America-->USA-->General-->U.S. Department of Education" from "All/Other Gophers in the World." Follow the path Department-wide Initiatives (Goals 2000...)-->Goals 2000 Initiative. If you are using World Wide Web (WWW), point your WWW client to our uniform resource locator (URL): http://www.ed.gov/ and follow the link from our WWW server to our Gopher server. Another way to access the library is by using file transfer protocol (FTP). To do this, FTP to: ftp.ed.gov (logon anonymous) If you have difficulty accessing our services, please contact us at one of the following addresses: inetmgr@inet.ed.gov gopheradm@inet.ed.gov wwwadmin@inet.ed.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keith M.
