=====> 1. About This Gopher.
+---------------+
WHAT'S HERE
Welcome! What you'll find in this gopher is a collection of selected
Internet resources of use (we believe) and interest (we hope) to K-12
educators, administrators, and students. You'll find two kinds of
information here: text descriptions of various on-line resources, and
direct pointers (or links) to on-line resources.
DESCRIPTIONS OF ON-LINE RESOURCES
The descriptions included here are summaries of one user's experience
with a particular resource. They include Internet addresses, login
and logout procedures, notes about particularly useful files, and
often a sample session. They often provide contact information so
that you can find out more about a resource from the provider.
To read a description, select the name of a resource from the gopher
menu. You'll be able to tell a description file from a link (see
below) because files are represented with a final period, like this:
About This Gopher.
Note: Most of these descriptions were written by people who have used
the resources they describe. (A description with no credited author
was probably written by Jeanne Baugh, who put this gopher together.)
I've tried to verify the addresses and sometimes the procedures they
provide, but I can't guarantee their accuracy. If you notice any
errors, please let me know and I'll correct the descriptions.
LINKS TO ON-LINE RESOURCES
Many of the choices on the menus here are direct connections to
various resources. To connect to a resource, select its name from the
gopher menu. You'll be able to tell a link from a description (see
above) because links are represented with a final slash, like this:
North Central Regional Educational Lab/
Note: Final slashes also designate submenus. Keep following slashed
menu options until you connect to the resource you're looking for.
A WORD ABOUT THIS GOPHER
This collection was compiled by Jeanne Baugh. Jeanne is a professor
of computer science at Waynesburg College in Waynesburg, PA, and a
doctoral student of education at West Virginia University. Her
dissertation project was to create a "Best of K-12 on the Internet"
gopher, a one-stop shopping center for K-12 educators and students
looking for the best on-line teaching and learning resources.
We think she did a remarkable job in pulling together all these
resources--but new ones are coming on-line every week. If you know of
a particularly good resource that's not included here, tell me about
it (why not write up a description like the ones found here?) and I'll
add it to our menus.
IF YOU RUN INTO PROBLEMS WITH A RESOURCE
Now that Jeanne has moved on to other projects, this gopher is being
maintained by CICNet. However, the resources described here, or for
which links are provided here, are maintained by other institutions.
We at CICNet can't take any credit--or blame!--for the existence or
lack thereof of any of the resources included in this gopher.
Occasionally you will be unable to connect to a resource. Usually
this happens for one of three reasons: 1) the provider has temporarily
taken the resource off-line ("turned it off"); 2) the provider has
moved the resource to another location this gopher doesn't know about;
or 3) the host computer on which the resource is located is having
trouble communicating with the rest of the network.
If you can't connect to a resource, try again later--if the problem is
caused by 1) or 3) above, chances are the resource will be available
again in a little while. If you still can't connect to it, however,
the problem may be 2)--send me a message and I'll try to verify the
address our link points to.
If you have questions about this gopher, suggestions for how we can
make it more useful to you, or complaints, please send them to me at
the address below. If you have questions about the resources listed
here, please send them to the provider.
A FINAL WORD
Play. :)

If you're not sure whether the resource you're looking for is on a
gopher, at an FTP site, or is on a host you must telnet to, and you
don't have time to browse all the menus here, don't give up. You can
search all the menu choices at once for a key word or phrase. If that
word or phrase appears anywhere on a menu in this gopher, you'll see a
new menu that lists all the menu titles that matched your search term.
To perform a key word search, select option 2, Search This Gopher,
from the main menu. When you're prompted to enter the search term,
type in your key word or phrase and press Return.
Note that searching this way will only look in this particular gopher.
If you want to search all of gopherspace (hundreds of gophers all
around the world), use Veronica. Select option 3, Gopher Servers,
from the main menu, then option 4, Search for Files on Gopher Servers
(Veronica). Select one of the Veronica servers listed on the menu.
When Veronica prompts you to enter the search term, type in your key
word or phrase and press Return. It may take Veronica a little while
to find what you're looking for (it's looking through a lot of data!).
