Currently, more than 25 agencies representing all three branches of the Federal Government provide more than 7,500 files of Government information via the FBB. FBB files include information from the White House and Executive Branch agencies (ranging from the Departments of State and Treasury to the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Federal Labor Relations Authority). Supreme Court opinions and files from other Judicial Branch agencies are also available. The FBB Web server also contains information on the Federal Depository Library Program at: http://fedbbs.access.gpo.gov/fdlp01.htm FTP, Telnet and dial-in access are also available to the FBB: FTP and Telnet: fedbbs.access.gpo.gov Dial-in:(202)512-1387 (Settings: BAUD 300-14,400 bps, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit, full duplex) The FBB is but one component of the GPO's award-winning GPO Access service. Users of GPO's almost two-year-old online service are now downloading and retrieving documents at a rate of more than two million per month. GPO Access received the 1994 Federal Technology Leadership Award and the 1995 James Madison Award. In addition to access to the FBB, GPO Access features access to key, daily-updated Federal databases, including the Federal Register, Congressional Bills, the Congressional Record, GILS Records, GAO Reports, the U.S. Code and a growing list of additional databases. 1 AN-v17-#08-06/15/96 GPO Access databases are available for searching at: World Wide Web: http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/aaces001.html Telnet: swais.gpo.gov (login as guest) Dial-in: (202) 512-1387 (type swais; login as guest) For further information or assistance, contact the GPO Access User Support Team at: E-mail: [email protected] Phone: (202) 512-1530 Fax: (202) 512-1262 List of Classes Now Available Online The List of Classes in now available in electronic format on the Federal Bulletin Board, by anonymous FTP and through the World Wide Web.

The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) Superintendent of Documents has created a Government Information Locator Service (GILS) Web site as part of its award-winning GPO Access service. The GPO Access GILS site can help you identify sources of Federal information, learn more about the information available from these sources, and provide assistance in obtaining the information. It allows you to search and retrieve GILS records for 25 Federal agencies. It also contains records that point to other GILS sites, records designed to serve as pathways to sources of information in all cabinet-level and major independent Federal agencies, and Privacy Act Notices for all Federal agencies. Each GILS record presents a thorough description of the information resource, including: - - What information is available and why it was created; - - How the information is made available for use; - - Whom to contact for further information; - - In some cases, a direct electronic link to the information itself is provided. The GPO Access GILS site was designed to allow for searches of all records on the site or individually by agency. Browse options are also available for the Pathway and Pointer records. Using the default selection to search all GILS records on the GPO Access GILS site allows you to locate information resources even if you do not know which agency may produce the information you need. All individual GILS records and Pointer records on the GPO Access GILS site were created by the agencies themselves and will be updated by those agencies. The Pathway records were created by the Superintendent of Documents Library Programs Service and will be maintained by that organization. To use the GPO Access GILS site, point your browser to: http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/gils/gils.html If you do not have World Wide Web access, this site can also be reached through: - - WAIS client software directed to Host: wais.access.gpo.gov Port: 210 Database: GILS - - Telneting to swais.access.gpo.gov (login as guest) - - Dialing in to (202) 512-1661 (login as guest) 7 AN-v17-#08-06/15/96 This GILS site is one of many information retrieval applications available through GPO Access. To find out more about what is available: - - Try the Superintendent of Documents Home Page at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs - - Contact the GPO Access User Support team via e-mail: [email protected] telephone: (202) 512-1530 FAX: (202) 512-1262 GPO Access: 1996 Unified Agenda Database Now Available Online The first issue of the 1996 Unified Agenda (also known as the Semi-Annual Regulatory Agenda) was published in the May 13, 1996 issue of the Federal Register. It went up simultaneously as a GPO Access database with documents available in both ASCII text and Adobe Acrobat PDF files. The Unified Agenda database is a wonderful tool for identifying future regulatory actions, by the issuing agency, topic or CFR part affected.

McKinney Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 1995 Graduation Date: May 6, 1995 - Abstract Overview The BBS (Bulletin Board System) software is a client/server model running on a VAX/VMS com puter system, which allows both interactive, user-friendly access to file bases and online discussion groups, and a versatile database environment with comprehensive security features. This system has been tailored to be platform-independent in its information transfer protocol, while using the specifics of the operating system to benefit both the appearance of the user interface and the efficiency of database m anagem ent. I have attempted to interweave as much functionality as feasibly possible into this project, as to demonstrate what I have learned through the Computer Science program here at Ball State University, as well as through my internship position as a VAX system technician and programmer S.t University Computing Services. Tools Used This project was written using the following software on University-owned VAX machines: DEC Pascal v4.2 for VMS DEC set Module M anagem ent System v2.5 MultiNet -v3.2 shareable TCPIIP network library Open VMS VAX Operating System v6.0, v6.1 This system makes use of system resources such as the VMS Command Language Interpreter (CLI), VMS Message Utility, Run-time Screen Manager Library (SMG), Record Management Services (RM8), and MultiNet's linkable TCP/IP socket library.

NIGERIA Email addresses: 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected], 3 [email protected] ABSTRACT Information dissemination is a key concern for most tertiary institutions. While information is relevant for the day-to-day running of a tertiary institution, the rightful information, sometimes, is not available for the appropriate decisions to be taken. The practice, in some institutions, is the use of wooden notice boards for making information available to the academic community. In many cases, such means of information broadcasting has been found to be inefficient, and largely a component of physical presence. However, electronic presence is becoming more and more acceptable for spreading information. To this effect, this paper will discuss the design and implementation of a simplified online bulletin board system called SIMPBOARD that can be accessed through the web browser of a computer or smart phone. Furthermore, the system will allow for anywhere access to bulletins, and possible archiving of same, for reference purposes, through the use of Mongo DB with Meteor JS Framework.
