Subject:Gophering on the Web From:Judith Grobe Sachs <judygs -at- UIC -dot- EDU> Date:Thu, 28 Jul 1994 17:25:42 CDT
LaVonna yesterday said she had access to the WWW, but not Gopher. Or
at least, I think that's what she said; I discarded the digest this
morning, so I can't check to make sure.
If you've got a Web Browser and a connection that lets you use it,
you've got Gopher. All you need is the URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
for the Gopher server of your choice. Of course, I think ours is one
of the best, so I'll use it for an example:
(Our Web home page is "under construction" as they often say, but it's
not bad either: http://www.uic.edu )
It's probably not wise to say this, but our online document library
is available in both, under "The Computer." I welcome comments on it.
