The archive has resources of interest to members of the .network target audience. Some resources were introduced into The Network through newsletters which are no longer published. Resources are continuously updated and new ones added. We would welcome your input if you know of something that should be added or updated.

EMAIL US your suggestion of resource.

How we handle a suggestion:

We give consideration to a suggestion for adding links and/or resource information to The Network by reviewing it through the eyes of members of the target user group. Resource suggestions or contributions are accepted for publication without cost or obligation on the basis of their value to this .network target audience.

We qualify resources based on their availability and lack of bias or nonpartisanship. Although we accept resources that are freely accessible inside commercial websites, bait for selling a product or idea that is incomplete in its offing doesn't qualify. We publish acceptable suggestions for links to resources and comments (including critiques) about them, reserving the right to edit. We acknowledge suggestions when given permission to do so. Acknowledgement consists of up to three of the following items: (1) your name (first, last, both); (2) location identity sans address; (3) organization name and/or (4) website link. Tell us if you want acknowledgement. We accept anonymous suggestions.

Contributing a resource:

Contributions differ from suggestions in that they are original works published first in The Network. They don't have to be exclusively published in our website(s), however. Also, we don't make copyright claims but are willing to publish yours while taking no responsibility for content (Please review the .network disclaimer). We accept links and comments to original work published elsewhere online on the same basis as described under how we handle a suggestion. The following paragraphs provide details:

Contribute a resource paper or topic article, neither of which should be more than 3,500 words, but at least 200 (20500 words may be considered a comment). A paper, article or comment may be a critique or summary report on other resources available (example) or a critique. An accepted paper will most likely be published in the .network library. Articles and comments will most likely be matched with other resources.

The best way to start the process of contributing something that's original to the .network resources archive is to send an email and explain briefly what you have in mind. This will open a dialogue between us (who we are) that should lead quickly to an agreement about how we will handle what you contribute. Please review the following points:

The Network publishes suggested or contributed resources with a disclaimer.

Accepted resource papers are published on individual pages provided without cost or obligation.

It's best to send a proposal and/or outline for starters. CLICK HERE to send an email.

If you want to send a comment, including one that is a critique or correction to something published in The Network, we will consider publishing it with an acknowledgement. If you're comment is lengthy, we may publish it separately from others on its own webpage.

If you want to bring a resource to out attention by just sending a link, that's fine with us. If you run across a broken link, or anything else that may lead .network users to a dead end, we would appreciate knowing about it. Making changes to overcome dead end situations is a part of our commitment to provide personal attention to requests for search assistance for our users as a free service. Please be sure to provide a URL address string.

When we ask you to make a suggestion that means we invite you to point us to something. When we ask for a contribution that means we want you to give .network users something that you've done and are willing to share. Another way of putting it is to say that we are not asking for a contribution for ourselves, rather we are asking that you share something useful and original with others like yourself who have joined in on a mission.
