============================================================================= GOPHER SITES ============================================================================= The Internet Gopher is a distributed document delivery service. It allows users to explore, search and retrieve information residing on different locations via series of nested menus. Menu choices may be located either on the local server site or on remote sites served by other Gopher servers. Information in a Gopher can be a text or binary file, directory information, images, or sounds. In addition, Gopher offers gateways to other information systems (World-Wide Web, WAIS, Archie, WHOIS) and network services (Telnet, FTP). Gopher uses the client-server model to provide access to Gopherspace. You must be on a TCP/IP network (the Internet) in order to use a client on your computer to access Gopher. Public domain clients for accessing a Gopher server are available for: Macintosh, MS/DOS, OS/2, VM/CMS, VMS, NeXT, Unix, X-Window. The clients are available for anonymous FTP from many FTP sites (eg, boombox.micro.umn.edu in the directory /pub/gopher). Some sites allow public access via Telnet to a client. To access such a remote client, telnet to one of these sites: University of Minnesota Gopher (The Mother Gopher) Access to other services, gophers, and documents Internet: telnet to consultant.micro.umn.edu or 134.84.132.4 At the login prompt, enter: gopher For information about Gopher servers in general, send e-mail to the Gopher development team at the U. of Minnesota: gopher@boombox.micro.umn.edu Other public Gopher Sites; telnet to: gopher.uiuc.edu or 128.174.5.58 gopher North America panda.uiowa.edu or 128.255.200.2 gopher North America infopath.ucsd.edu 132.239.50.16 infopath North America gopher.sunet.se or 192.36.125.10 gopher Europe info.anu.edu.au or 150.203.84.20 info Australia tolten.puc.cl or 146.155.1.16 gopher South America gan.ncc.go.jp or 160.190.10.1 gopher Japan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Specific Gopher Sites) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACADEME THIS WEEK The Chronicle of Higher Education Gopher Internet: gopher to chronicle.merit.edu or 35.1.1.98 URL: gopher://chronicle.merit.edu Contact: E-mail to: chronicle-help@chronicle.merit.edu Call Judith Turner or Ed Piou at The Chronicle of Higher Education Phone: 202-466-1000 Description: The Chronicle of Higher Education sponsors "ACADEME THIS WEEK," a free electronic service on the Internet.
