In his article of 1992 Dec 16 Jonathan B. Horen asks: > >How about others? Also, does anyone know of online, ASCII-format collections >available for browsing/ftp/etc. over the Internet? > Yes, Jon, there are other library catalogs available for electronic access. One of the best ways into them is through Gopher, an Internet search program. If you don't have Gopher available on any of your machines, you can connect to the original Gopher server (the Mother of all Gophers) at the University of Minnesota by following these 2 steps: 1. telnet consultant.micro.umn.edu 2. Log in as "gopher" A menu will appear through which you can connect to library catalogs in Colorado, Nevada, California, even the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. You can also gain access to weather information for North America, files of recipes, sounds to play on your workstation, and a host of other fun things. Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kathy Eyster Internet: kathy@nevada.edu System Computing Services Bitnet: kathy@nevada2 4505 Maryland Parkway Phone: (702) 895-4587 Box 454016 FAX: (702) 895-3791 Las Vegas, NV USA 89154-4016
