This guide was created to accompany workshops on learning to use electronic networks. It is less than a complete introduction to networks, but is a good tool for those learning to use them. An introduction defines networks, discusses the most important of them, and provides other useful concepts. Understanding and using electronic mail are reviewed, and discussion groups are introduced. The etiquette of network use and how to transfer material are discussed. Five useful bibliographies are attached, listing: (1) network guides and books (6 sources); (2) network guides and file transferable documents (14 sources); (3) periodicals (3 sources); (4) library guides (3 sources); and (5) other "good stuff" (5 sources). A list of seven directories of computer discussion groups is included. (SLD)
