  Well Joe, I think that your request is quite vague, because you really
don't give enough information about what this Psychology Prof. is interested
in getting information about. There are over 2500 newsgroups on the
internet, and since in a very real sense, the net is a world-wide connection
of computer systems, there are very varied interest groups, plus Abstracts,
and NewsLetters (to name a few means of obtaining information).

  Off the top of my head, I would suggest the following newsgroups (only
because I have the names handy); alt.internet.services and sci.med.nutrition

  Have the prof. get a little more specific about what he wants to find out
via internet(bitnet,telnet,hytelnet,etc.). The net is growing at an
astounding rate with new services being added as we speak.

  BTW, I am a psychology grad. student completing my masters thesis in
experimental area. Learned to net hop via seat-of-my-pants method and 5
hours of mini-course instruction from the local computing service division
here (University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee).

  If you have CHOOSENEWS available, select that to browse & subscribe
interesting newsgroups, ask questions to newsgroups which look "promising"
and followup on the "leads". (Be prepared to spend several days at a
terminal to readup on all that is available...no kidding.)
