ACCESS THE QUEER RESOURCES DIRECTORY VIA THE WEB WORLD WIDE WEB The QRD has recently added hypertext to the many access methods already supported. The URL for our home page is: http://www.qrd.org/QRD/ If you don't have a browser but you do have access to telnet, don't despair. There are public 'www' accounts that you can telnet to and access ascii-based browers. Please note that while we have done our best to document the steps to be taken in order to load the QRD Home Page from these public sites, the information below could be out of date before we know it. You can help us out by sending us updates as you discover them. Send email to wwwstaff@qrd.org with corrections and/or pointers. The sites are: telnet www.njit.edu or telnet 128.235.163.2 (USA [NJ]) telnet ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu or 129.237.1.30 (USA [KA]) telnet www.twi.tudelft.nl (Login: lynx) [NETHERLANDS] telnet millbrook.lib.rmit.edu.au (Login: lynx) [AUSSIE] telnet telnet.w3.org [SWITZERLAND] telnet www.huji.ac.il or telnet 128.139.4.3 [ISRAEL] telnet sun.uakom.sk or telnet 192.108.131.11 [SLOVAKIA] telnet www.edu.tw or telnet 192.83.166.10 [TAIWAN] See below for more details on how to get to the QRD Home Page from the US sites. The following requires a little work since most sites do not allow anonymous users to jump right a particular page. The overall approach is to 'get beyond' the local services/databases and access a global list or searching function and then find the Queer Resources Directory listed explicity.
