NET Gain No. 1:
General Voc Ed Resources
(September 1995)

For years university researchers were the only surfers on the Internet, but now a wider audience can access its resources. The purpose of this column is to provide Journal readers with a periodic list of useful electronic resources for vocational education. Look for "NET Gain" in the "Keeping Up" department of every other issue.
