Web Addresses for the Environment
 

If you don't see a likely address here, type a key work in the search block of Google, AltaVista Yahoo or other search engine. This works for many names too: try your family name for an example. You can enclose several words in double quotes to narrow the search: For example, write "firstname middlename lastname" instead of firstname middlename lastname.

There is much information at university sites. Many universities have fields of special emphasis.
    The usual form is http://www.name-of-school.edu

For international information, two sites with gigantic files and with links to others are:
http://www.funet.fi                               Finland

http://www.uni-paderborn.de              Germany
 

At one time much information was available with ftp, the file transfer program. In the USA they are scarce because they open a back door to the complete system, especially since 9/11. The usual form is  ftp://ftp.name-of-site .Some ask for a check-in: use anonymous for name and your e-mail address for the password.. Try with the two foreign sites, removing http and replacing with ftp, and the www and replacing with ftp. Special ftp programs are available.
 

If you have an address to include,send it by e-mail to ecouncil@iag.net
