If you are a user of the World Wide Web, for example using a browser such as Mosaic, the most convenient way to use netlib will probably be to open http://www.netlib.org/ or ftp://netlib.att.com/home.html. The two sites present a slightly different face, as we explore different ways to present the collection, and they differ in a few libraries such as local technical reports, but otherwise the contents are identical and the servers may be used interchangably.
Because netlib's WWW interface is relatively new (having started operation in October 1993), some of the more specialized services such as f2c have not be added yet. Progress on this front is quite rapid, and as the system is relatively self-explanatory, we say no more about it here.
