Introduction

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is moving forward in providing and accessing information through the World Wide Web by using the Mosaic software package, among other tools. The World Wide Web is a seamless world in which all information, from any source, can be accessed in a simple and consistent manner. Mosaic, developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), is a networked information discovery, retrieval, and collaboration tool used to view documents available through the World Wide Web.

This document was created for the following purposes:

to help new users become more familiar with the World Wide Web concept
to demonstrate how to use Mosaic and its capabilities
to provide a pointer to other documents further describing the World Wide Web and Mosaic
