Gopher Novice - Part XI. ======================== So I had been thinking in [Gopher Novice - Part IX] that there weren't zines on Gophersphere. Because I can't spot any evidence of it in archives. And I came on [zine0494] and [zines5] today. We lost several archives of zines on Gopher! Any of that Gopher addresses of course isn't valid today. `` SYSTEMS ARCHIVING E-ZINES The following are sites that archive e-zines. Many of them are primary archive points for e-zines in this list. FTP: ftp.eff.org etext.archive.umich.edu ftp.cic.net quartz.rutgers.edu ftp.msen.com ftp.halcyon.com world.std.com netcom.com:/pub/johnl/zines nigel.msen.com:/pub/newsletters grind.isca.uiowa.edu:/info/journals nic.cic.net:pub/nircomm/gopher/e-serials Gopher: gopher.eff.org etext.archive.umich.edu (mirrors all FTPable files) gopher.cic.net gopher.msen.com gopher.well.sf.ca.us world.std.com gopher.unt.edu We can go through the list of zines in that files. The most of them has also own Gopher address. So we lost also that. `` Bits and Bytes Online "An electronic newsletter for text-based life-forms."

"An electronic newsletter for text-based life-forms, printed on 100% recycled electrons." Send a "sub bits-n-bytes" message to listserv@acad1.dana.edu or contact jaymachado@delphi.com. Back issues may be FTP'd from /periodic on ftp.dana.edu or pub/Publications/CuD/BNB on ftp.eff.org (with gz compression), or retrieved from gopher.law.cornell.edu ("Discussions and Listserv archives/Teknoids") or gopher.dana.edu ("Electronic Journals"), or by posting messages such as "send bitsv2n3.txt" to listserv@acad1.dana.edu. B&B is also in the telecom libraries on AOL, Compuserve, perhaps Delphi, and on many BBSs.) I was wondering how large was that archive. And I came on [ftp-list.txt] with information that on one site from archive list was "nearly 600 different electronic journals". `` Site : ftp.cic.net Country: USA GMT : -5 Date : 04-Feb-94 Source : Paul Southworth (pauls@locust.cic.net) Alias : beech.cic.net Admin : ftp@cic.net Organ : CICNet Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan Server : System : Unix (SunOS 4.1.3, SPARCstation 10/30) Comment: journals are in /pub/nircomm/gopher/e-serials Files : Nearly 600 different electronic journals I've gone back to [The Computists' Weekly - Volume 3: No. 47] because it's new and interesting source of information for me. We have funny news about search results in the late 1993 on Veronica: `` Dana Noonan did a veronica search for the word "neat" and found only 76 gopher entries. "Cool" has 600+ entries, "hot" 700+, and "stuff" 1400+. [noonan@msus1.msus.edu, Network News, 11/24/93. net-hap.] One of the next issues [The Computists' Weekly - Volume 4: No. 25] is providing more serious news about a Gopher archive of more serious magazines containing about 100 titles: `` Over 111 magazines are partially available on gopher.internet.com (1/alpha/all). Titles include AI Expert, AI in Finance, Business Week, CD-ROM World, Computerworld, Discover, Game Developer, Inc. magazine, Individual Investor, Interactive Facts, Interactive Publishing Alert, Internet Letter, Internet World, PC Today, The Scientist, Skeptical Inquirer, Technology Review, Virtual Reality World, Voice Processing Magazine, and the Berkeley Wellness Letter. [Peter Weiss (pmw1@psuvm.psu.edu), CARR-L, 6/18/94.] And again, an invaluable source of data [The Computists' Weekly - Volume 3: No. 08] informed that number of zines is increased and there were initiatives to archive that. `` Michael Strangelove (441495@acadvm1.uottawa.ca) reports a 33% increase in the number of e-journals in the first six weeks of 1993, with several coming from Moscow, Brazil, Poland, Czech Republic, Chile, and Yugoslavia. 27 of the 36 e-journals are peer-reviewed or refereed. 26 are ASCII only, 4 are PostScript, and the others are in TeX, WordPerfect, SGML, Mac, or graphic formats. Distribution via internet Gopher (and other servers) is becoming common, with Billy Barron's CICNet database (gopher.cic.net) having the largest collection. Only six e-serials currently charge fees, but others may charge subscribers after a free trial period. [VPIEJ-L, 2/15.] Michael's Directory of Electronic Journals and Newsletters is available from the Contex-L fileserver. Send a "get ejournl1 directry" (or ejournl2) command to listserv@uottawa.bitnet or listserv@acadvm1.uottawa.ca. [441495@acadvm1.uottawa.ca, IRLIST Digest, 1/26.] (I'm not sure if the new version is out yet.) `` The CICNet Electronic Journal project has over 200 free electronic journals in its collection. You can access them via gopher.cic.net or anonymous FTP to ftp.cic.net.
