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."

      Editor(s): Jay Machado <[email protected]>
         Format: ASCII text
      Frequency: irregularly, 2 or 3 times a month
         Gopher: gopher.dana.edu
     Compuserve: telecom forum library
     America Online: in telecom files area
          Phone: +1 609 795 0998 (evenings)
         Postal: 1529 Dogwood Drive, Cherry Hill, NJ 08003, USA


And it's possible to search about zine titles, for example above title
is described in [The Computists' Weekly - Volume 4: No. 16] as:

``
 (Jay Machado's Bits and Bytes  Online explores the interaction between
 emerging  technologies  and  society. "An  electronic  newsletter  for
 text-based  life-forms, printed  on 100%  recycled electrons."  Send a
 "sub  bits-n-bytes"  message  to  [email protected]  or  contact
 [email protected].   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
 [email protected]. 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".

 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+.  [[email protected], 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
 ([email protected]), 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 ([email protected]) 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
 [email protected]         or        [email protected].
 [[email protected], 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. [Billy Barron  ([email protected]), PACS-L,
