To you....
 
Re:  The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Web Home Page:
 
As part of the continuing Internet developments at the Wisconsin
Department of Public Instruction (WisDPI), staff from the department's
Division for Libraries and Community Learning (the Wis. State Library
Agency) have developed a "WisDPI Web Home Page".  You can access the
WisDPI web page at:
 
http://badger.state.wi.us/0/agencies/dpi/www/dpi_home.html
 
The WisDPI Web page is a combination of narrative and lists.  Currently
it includes 96 hypertext links to other net resources.  Below is the
Table of Contents.
 
--  Introduction: What The WisDPI Home Page Includes.  (2 links)
--  If You Are New To The Web.  (10)
--  Popular Web Sites To Visit.  (20)
--  Education And Library-related Web References.  (39)
--  Information From The WisDPI.  (19)
    --  Wis. Telco Act Information.  (6)
--  Appendix A: List Of All Hypertext Links (URLS) From The
    WisDPI Home Page. (96)
 
Special emphasis is placed on locating resources of interest to the
K-12 and public library communities.  In deference to these two groups
who often have slower SLIP or PPP access (if they have any access at
all!) all inline graphics in the WisDPI page total less than 5k.  All
clickable graphics include the file size in parentheses.
 
P.S. In case you missed it, check out the WisDPI gopher at:
badger.state.wi.us   For the telnet login, type  wigoph  <enter> and
<enter> again for the VT100 terminal type.  From the main menu go
to  --> Wis. State Agencies...   --> Wis. Dept. of Public....
 
Several Web browsers available via Telnet can be found on the "WisDPI
Web Page..." menu on the WisDPI gopher.  These are text-only, line-mode
browsers like Lynx.  While they do not offer the advantages or elegance
of GUI browsers (e.g. Mosaic, Cello) they do offer folks who do
not have a direct Internet connection a chance to see how the Web works.
 
Note: Please direct any comments or suggestions on any other resources
      to include in the WisDPI Web page or gopher to Bob Bocher,
      Technology Consultant, WisDPI, Division for Libraries and
      Community Learning.
