RFC 2007
Catalogue of Network Training Materials
RFC 2007: Catalogue of Network Training Materials 🎀
okay bestie, this is RFC 2007, and it's an FYI doc (FYI 29 🌸). It's Informational, so it's giving "here's some useful info" and not "you must do this." 💅 It came out in October 1996.
The authors are J. Foster (University of Newcastle), M. Isaacs (University of Glasgow), and M. Prior (connect.com.au pty ltd). They wrote it under the Network Working Group, and it was produced by the Joint IETF/TERENA(RARE) Network Training Materials Working Group, known as TRAINMAT 🧚. The title block doesn't list any documents it obsoletes or updates, so there's nothing to chase there ✨.
Status of this Memo 📜
ngl this part is just the legal-ish bit, but here's the tea: this memo gives information to the Internet community 🦋. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind, and distribution is totally unlimited, so share it with everyone 💖.
Abstract 🌸
the whole point of this doc is to give trainers a catalogue of quality Network Training Materials to use when they teach their users 🎓. It's basically a big list of pointers to good resources, and the hope is that trainers get to skip a lot of the work of making their own materials from scratch 🫶.

okay so the Internet keeps getting bigger, which means more and more people are going to be using it 📈. That's a lot of money and effort already sunk into the network and all its information and data services, so it's essential that the whole range of potential users actually knows these services exist 👑. They especially need training on how to use the facilities and how to get good at searching for and fetching information over the global network 🔍.
the user base has grown so fast that trainers are struggling to keep up 😭. Librarians, Computing Service staff, and subject-based Network Support staff all play a vital role in training users 💅. Easy access to quality training materials, plus pooling resources, will help spread the load 🫶.
the purpose of this doc is to give Internet trainers a catalogue of quality Network Training Materials 🎀. It's a collection of pointers to useful resources, so trainers can be relieved of much of the work of producing their own training materials ✨. The plan is to make it a "living document" 🦋. It'll live online so each section can be updated separately whenever that's needed.
2. How the information was collected 🧚
the info in this report was gathered over the network by volunteers from the Trainmat Working Group 💜. They got it from the contacts for each network training resource, using the Trainmat template (see Appendix A) 📝. The template was talked through by the Trainmat WG at its meetings and on the mailing list 🗣️. And the decision on whether an item gets in was made by the members of the working group ⭐.
3. What is covered? 🍓
this catalogue covers network training materials, and they're sorted into these buckets 🗂️:
- Presentation Material: including OHP masters, speaker's hand-outs, and speaker's notes 📽️
- Workshop Exercises: including workshop hand-outs and detailed instructions for hands-on exercises 🛠️
- Self-Paced Material: including online tutorials 🌸
some material, like selected User Guides, Resource Guides, and Trainer Guides, is super useful for trainers, so it's been included where it fits 💖. The resource lists are the ones assembled for training purposes and the ones that get used or referenced a lot in training 📚.
there are also Special Online Collections of training materials now, and a selection of those is included too 🌐.
the full list of Categories is:
User Guides
Resource Guides
Trainer Guides
Presentation Material
Workshop Exercises
Self-Paced Material
Online Collections4. Updating information 💌
the catalogue is available online, and it'll be more up to date than this RFC version, so the online version should be the starting point for any updates 🫧. The WWW version has an HTML form for sending updates (and new material) to the people who maintain the catalogue 💻.
you can reach the online doc through the World Wide Web at these addresses:
http://www.trainmat.ietf.org/catalogue.html
http://www.trainmat.ietf.org/template.htmlupdates are welcome! You can either fill in a template and send it to catalogue@connect.com.au, or (preferably 🥺) use the HTML form on the World Wide Web:
http://www.trainmat.ietf.org/form.htmlnew and revised entries get reviewed by a small international editorial board made up of TRAINMAT volunteers 🌍. Updating the catalogue is done on a best effort basis and is subject to review 🙏.
5. Network Training Materials 📚
this section has the completed templates of network training material, as they were received by the publication date of this doc 🎁. The online versions may have more up to date material, so check there too 👀. The material falls into these broad categories (see also section 3) 🌈:
- User Guides
- Resource Guides
- Trainer Guides
- Presentation material
- Workshop exercises
- Self-paced material
- On-Line Collections

okay so this section is the big thank-you list 🫶 This document was a seriously collaborative effort from the members of the Trainmat WG. It was originally based on a catalogue of network training resources that Margaret Isaacs put together in December 1992, as part of an early study for the UK Mailbase ITTI Network Training Materials Project. Iconic origin story, honestly 🌸

Appendix B: Notes on completing the TrainMat template ✨
1. Selecting a new resource for inclusion 💖
okay so before anything gets in the Trainmat Catalogue, you have to run it through a few questions to see if it's actually a vibe for the catalogue 🧐 these are the checks
1.1 Does the item belong in a Training Materials Catalogue?
this catalogue is for network training materials 📚 that includes self-teaching stuff and anything else that helps with and supports training
a generous reading of "training materials" is totally the move 🫶 (see also the note 3.2 on 'Category'). training is basically "trying to change how someone behaves", so if a doc is trying to do that, it can be considered for the catalogue 🔥 a doc that walks you through sample exercises fits, but a reference card that just lists commands? not it 💀 good resource lists to include are the ones put together for training, or the ones that trainers keep reaching for
since this is an international catalogue, it's generally not appropriate to add material for specific services or networks 🙈 that said, some national or regional network training material is general enough that it could still be considered ✨
1.2 Is the content reasonably up-to-date and worth including?
the catalogue is meant to be a curated selection of quality training materials, NOT a giant list of literally everything out there 💅 some quality control is needed on entries. you'll need to decide if the item is still relevant and fairly up-to-date. anything two or more years old needs careful scrutiny 👀
1.3 Is it easily available?
is there an established way to get it? 🦋 it doesn't have to be free, so don't let price be the deciding factor
2. Submitting a new or revised template 📝
the template for putting in new entries is in Appendix A 🎀 the preferred way to add or update info is through an HTML form at this URL:
http://www.trainmat.ietf.org/form.htmlyou'll need a web browser that handles forms. honestly it's super straightforward, and there are drop-down menus for some of the fields 🌸
you can also email completed templates to:
catalogue@connect.com.authat mailing list is a small, closed "review" group. they decide whether an item gets in 🧚
when you add a new template, you'll be listed as the person responsible for that entry ✨ and the same process works if you're the person responsible for an entry and want to update it 🫶
3. Notes on completing the various fields of the template 🌈
the goal is to keep each entry reasonably short (ideally no more than one page) 📄 so descriptions and other long fields should stay a sensible length. also, any field that continues onto the next line should be indented by at least one white space 💅
every completed template gets an auto-allocated "handle" that uniquely identifies it 🔑
3.1 Handle
this is a unique identifier for the material at this source 🆔 it's usually generated automatically, so you don't need to type it in when you make a new entry from the template
3.2 Category 🏷️
"Category" should be picked from this set:
User Guides
Resource Guides
Trainer Guides
Presentation material
Workshop Exercises
Self-Paced material
On-Line Collectionsonly user guides that are really useful for training should get in 👑
good resource lists to include are the ones assembled for training, or the ones often used or referenced in training 🍓
presentation material covers OHP masters, speaker's hand-outs, and speaker's notes 📽️
workshop exercises cover workshop hand-outs and detailed instructions for hands-on exercises 🛠️
self-paced material covers online tutorials 🌙
online collections are useful lists of training materials 🗂️
3.3 Country 🌍
use the ISO two letter country code, followed by the English words. for example:
US - United States
AU - Australiayou can find the full list of codes at:

Description: Discussion list for librarians, computer support personnel,
and all those who are involved in teaching others how to use
Bitnet and Internet. Topics for discussion include such areas
as: how to divide responsibility for teaching internetwork use;
methods of teaching and resources used; and policies on access
(faculty, student, staff) to the networks. NETTRAIN will also
serve as a clearinghouse for Bitnet and Internet training
materials developed in a variety of contexts and for a variety
of needs. NETTRAIN is, therefore, intended for experienced
users of Bitnet and Internet, *not* for beginners looking for
