- Well it happened again. Gopher Jewels was lesson number ten and was not
- labeled. This is number eleven. I guess I need to give everyone %10 off
- the next workshop.
-
- Actually, I can do better than that.
-
- The Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) invited me to speak on Internet
- training at EDUCOM last week. I learn a good deal from the other speakers.
- In particular, one unique idea, that I'd like to try with this workshop and
- the ones I do in person, was presented by Scott Siddall of Kenyon College.
-
- They do a one week workshop on the Internet for their faculty and *pay*
- the faculty to attend. That makes sense. Faculty's time is
- money, and I'm sure the administration wants the faculty to make the best
- use of the information resources available through the Internet.
-
- Let's see. We'll base our price on my weekly unemployment check from
- Louisiana--$181, times the three weeks or so of this workshop,
- times the 17,099 participants. That adds up to--Uh. Oh my......

- The next way we will explore Gopherspace is by using the powerful
- navigational software, Veronica. Veronica was developed by the
- University of Nevada to help access Gopher directories and the many
- files they contain.
-
- Before we begin our search with Veronica, let's use some of the
- Gopher skills we've already learned.
-
- Go to the Gopher menu that takes you to "All the Gopher Servers in
- the World."
-
- (Use your the letter "v" for view if you added this to your personal
- bookmark.)

- This is the first of fifty pages listing Gopher directories.
- Fortunately, the first item in this Gopher menu is called "Search
- Gopherspace using Veronica", and that is our destination. However,
- before going there, I suggest we add this to our bookmark as well.
-
- After adding it to your bookmark, select this item. Here is what
- the menu looks like:

- We are given eight Gopher items in the menu "Search Gopherspace
- using Veronica." The first six Gopher items end with "<?>" which
- indicates that the items are index-search servers (we'll talk more
- about that later). I suggest you add the first six menu items to
- your bookmark.

- I've only given one example, but you should continue by adding the
- other five Gopher items.
-
- There are two other items in the Gopher menu "Search Gopherspace
- using Veronica"; "FAQ: Frequently-Asked Questions about Veronica"
- and "How to compose Veronica queries (NEW June 24) READ ME!!." Do
- you have questions about Veronica? Then read these two information
- packages or save or mail them to yourself.
-
- (I'll send number 8 "FAQ: Frequently-Asked Questions about
- Veronica" separately for those who do not yet have Gopher access
- but are following along. This document actually contains number 9
