Kigour of the Ohio College Library Center championed the networking of Ohio libraries during the decades of 60s and 70s. The TCP/IP architecture first proposed by Bob Kahn at BBN and again developed by Kahn and Vint Cerf at Stanford and others all through 70s. It was applied by the Defense Department in 1980 substituting the earlier Network Control Protocol --NCP and commonly adopted by 1983. The UNIC to UNIX copy Protocol or UUCP was discovered in 1978 at Bell Labs. Usenet was originated in 1979 on the basis of the UUCP. The Newsgroups which are deliberation groups concentrating on a topic, followed entailing a means of exchanging information around the world. (A Brief History of the Internet)
Likewise, the BITNET the acronym of Because It's Time Network linked IBM mainframes around the educational community and the world to entail mail services initiating in 1981. The Listserv software was devised for such network and subsequently for use by others. The Gateways were improved to link BITNET with the Internet and permitted exchange of e-mail, particularly for e-mail discussion lists. The National Science Foundation sponsored NSFNet as a nationwide coverage for 56 Kbps backbone for the Internet. They preserved their sponsorship for about a decade, setting rules for its non-commercial government and research uses. The foremost attempt after library catalogs was to index the Internet devised during 1989 while Peter Deutsch and his group at McGill University in Montreal, generated an archive for ftp sites, that they named Archie.
