The Texas A&M Gopher
n early 1992, a new creature began burrowing its
way around Texas A&M. This friendly critter,
called Gopher, helps you browse many of the
resources on the local campus network or on the
worldwide Internet. Texas A&M’s Gopher provides easy
access to endless amounts of information. You can use
Gopher to do such things as:
• Find out what University events are happening on any
given day.
• Look up faculty, student or staff phone numbers,
electronic mail addresses, and office locations.
• View current and archived issues of campus newsletters
such as the Fortnightly, System News, Computing News.
• Access NOTTS, FirstSearch, TEXSearch and the Evans
Library Archives.
• Check out current campus employment opportunities and
job descriptions.
• Read up on computer resource information.
• See what the local and national weather forecasts and
current conditions are.
Because Gopher is a tool used on the Internet at thousands
of other locations, the amount of information available is
unbelievable. Besides information pertaining to a particu
lar geographical area, Gopher servers also specialize in
medicine, science, commerce, government, entertainment
and other special interests. Gopher servers deliver text,
index searches, still images, audio, and public domain
software all over the world.
With Gopher, you can:
• Learn what earthquakes took place yesterday.
• Read today’s student newspaper from a school 2,000
miles away.
• Pick up a quote from Paradise Lost for a term paper.
•Read city council meeting minutes from Wellington,
New Zealand.
•Listen to the final U.S. Presidential Debate of 1992.
•Read about the Human Genome Project.
• Learn about federal grants.
• Download public domain software.
These examples are a tiny sampling of the information
Gopher can deliver. The fantastic thing about Gopher is that
you don’t need to be a computer geek to use it. Gopher is
easy to access and easy to use. If you have a VM, Open
VMS/VAX or UNIX account, after logging on type Go
pher to access Gopher’s Root Menu. If you’re a student,
and you don’t have an account, use ACCESS to create one.
(Call 845-4217 for information.)
Our own Texas A&M Gopher
If you don’t have an account, you can access Gopher
from the computers in most of the microcomputer labs on
campus. If you have a computer that is connected to the
campus network via Ethernet, you can install the Gopher
software on your machine.
Once you’ve accessed Gopher, a list of menu options
appears. You can choose menu items until you come
across the appropriate information, or you can use
VERONICA (the Gopher search engine) to do a local or
worldwide search for any word or combination of words.
If you have general questions about using Gopher con
tact a CIS Help Desk. If you, your department, or your
organization would like to make information available on
Gopher, send electronic mail to gopher @tamu.edu or call
Sam Fleitman at 845-6903 or Dawn Lee at 847-9368.
