Prentice Hall III) Gopher Gopher is a hierarchical browsing program developed at the University of Minnesota (home of the "Golden Gophers"), to help people navigate their way through various Internet resources. By using a gopher the user does not need to use commands (e.g. telnet, ftp) or know specific addresses for resources. It is a tremendously popular program and there are now thousands of Gopher servers around the world including many in Europe, the Pacific Rim, and Latin America. If you have a local gopher, or a gopher client, than you can directly access other gophers, if you know their address, by using gopher as a command, e.g. "gopher sunsite.unc.edu". Most gophers have connections to all other gophers. If you do not have access to a local gopher use a publicly accessible gopher such as the Univ. of Minnesota Gopher (telnet consultant.micro.umn.edu) or the University of California, Santa Cruz Gopher (telnet infoslug.ucsc.edu login: infoslug) to access all other gophers (each gopher typically has a menu listing for "Other Gophers"). To search for particular resources on gophers around the world - use a resource known as "Veronica" (there is also an adaptation of it known as "BOING" - Bio-Oriented Internet Gopher). To see a list of subject oriented gophers access "Gopher Jewels" available via gopher at: cwis.usc.edu /Other Gophers and..../Gopher Jewels. ---------- Aquanaut - Scuba Diving (gopher.opal.com) Aquanic - Aquaculture Network Information Center (thorplus.lib.purdue.edu) Australian National University, Bioinformatics (life.anu.edu.au) Australian Oceanographic Data Centre (dir.ic.ac.uk) Bedford Institute of Oceanography (biome.bio.dfo.ca) Biodiversity and Biological Collections at Harvard (huh.harvard.edu) Ciesin, Global Ecology and the Environment (gopher.ciesin.org) Deep-Sea and Hydrothermal Vent Info.

It is based on "hypertext" and was developed at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Switzerland. Like gopher, it has been widely adopted. To connect to a public WWW, telnet to: info.cern.ch and login as: "www". Currently, there are a variety of popular browser programs for WWW (e.g. Mosaic, Cello). These programs provide multimedia capabilities but require a "direct" connection or a dialup connection with SLIP or PPP. Consult one of the general internet reference guides for more information. To connect to a public full screen browser - Lynx (for vt100 emulation) which does not require a direct connection or a SLIP/PPP connection, telnet to: kufacts.cc.ukans.edu and login as: "kufacts" (then go to the "Reference Shelf"). Or telnet to: sunsite.unc.edu and login as: "lynx". To use a public www client that allows you to directly input one of the addresses (i.e. URL, e.g. "http://www.opal.com/aquanaut") below, telnet to: library.wustl.edu and select: Internet Tools/Worldwide Web Anywhere. ---------- Aquanaut - scuba diving related information (http://www.opal.com/aquanaut) Australian Environmental Resources Information Network (http://kaos.erin.gov.au/erin.html) Australian National University Biodiversity (http://life.anu.edu.au/biodiversity.html) CSU Stanislaus - Biology Department (http://lead.csustan.edu/home.html) Colorado State University - Entomology (http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/Entomology/ent.html) CYAMUS - regional group of IAMSLIC = Marine Libraries (http://scilibx.ucsc.edu/iamslic/cyamus.html) Earth Observing System Project (http://spso2.gsfc.nasa.gov/spso_homepage.html) Iowa State Univ. - Entomology (http://www.public.iastate.edu/~entomology/) Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, Deacon Laboratory, Wormley (http://wocomms.nwo.ac.uk/pub/www/welcome.html) Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University (http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/) NATO SACLANT - Undersea Research Centre (http://www.saclantc.nato.int/) Nauticus - National Maritime Center (http://www.nauticus.org/Nauticus/nauticus.html) NCDC - US National Climatic Data Center (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ncdc.html) NGDC - US National Geophysical Data Center (http://web.ngdc.noaa.gov) NMFS - US National Marine Fisheries Service (http://kingfish.ssp.nmfs.gov/home-page.html) NOAA - US National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (http: //www.noaa.gov/) NOAA - Environmental Info Services (http://www.esdim.noaa.gov/) NODC - US National Oceanographic Data Center (http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/) Oceanic, Ocean Information Center (http://diu.cms.udel.edu/) The Oceanography Society's Distributed Ocean Data System project (http://lake.mit.edu/jgofs/index) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/) Scripps Institution of Oceanography (http://sio.ucsd.edu/) Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library (http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/sio/) SeaWIFS Project (http://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEAWIFS.htm1) Unidata Program (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/) University of Hawaii, School of Ocean & Earth Science & Technology (http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/) US Fish & Wildlife Service - Division of Law Enforcement (http://ash.lab.r1.fws.gov/) US Fish & Wildlife Service - Division of Refuges (http://bluegoose.arw.r9.fws.gov/) USGS Global Change and Climate History Program (http://geochange.er.usgs.gov/gch.html) Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (http://www.whoi.edu/) V) WAIS Wide Area Information Server (WAIS pronounced "wayz") is a powerful search tool that is used to keyword search a particular information resource (which can range from a newsgroup archive to a text or image database). There are over 600 different individual WAIS sources or databases with more added each month. WAIS is often accessed through a gopher. The following "sources" are from a public WAIS server accessible by: telnet sunsite.unc.edu, login: swais. Or you can access these sources by gopher (sunsite.unc.edu /Surf the Net.../Search WAIS...). ---------- - Biology Journal Contents, #239 - Biosci (Usenet Bionet Newsgroups), #240 - Coastal, #271 - DOE Climate Data, #76 - Environment Newsgroups, #350 - Global Change Data Directory, #83 - Invertebrate Paleontology Database, #106 - NOAA Environmental Services, #127 - NOAA National Environmental Referral Service, #128 - The Scientist, #562 - Smithsonian Pictures, #530 - USDA CRIS (Current Research Information Service), #575 - U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (Region 9), #197 - Water Quality Database, #590 VI) Library Catalogs There are over 1,000 library catalogs in more than 60 countries available on the Internet. Many of these catalogs also have special databases. Catalogs of particular interest to aquatic biologists include the EPA Library, the Univ. of California Library System (Melvyl) with over 10 million records, Harvard, Yale, the Library of Congress, Univ. of Michigan, Univ. of Washington, Illinet (the union catalog for Illinois) etc. Generally those institutions with strong programs in a discipline have good library collections in those areas. Other criteria for selecting a library catalog to search might include: geographical location, size of the collection, and consulting a reference guide (e.g. "Subject Collections"). Most catalogs provide a variety of search options such as browsing an exact title, author or subject heading, or using keywords to search those indexes. Productive words to input for a "subject browse" include: aquatic (e.g. aquatic biology, aquatic botany, aquatic ecology, aquatic invertebrates, etc.), freshwater, marine, stream, lake, limnology, etc. Catalogs can be accessed by "telnet" if the address is known or through a gopher. Most gophers have a menu listing for "Library Catalogs" which allows geographical browsing or keyword name searching for a particular catalog. Another way to access library catalogs is through "Hytelnet" available via telnet at: access.usask.ca login: "hytelnet". Hytelnet also provides a comprehensive directory of Freenets, CWISs, BBSs, and Databases.

VIII) Specimen Collections Museum and laboratory specimen collections are often little used data repositories that contain a wealth of potential information. Automation of these collections and global access through the Internet can greatly assist researchers. There are currently over 2 million plant and animal specimens online from a variety of institutions. ---------- The following are available via gopher at: huh.harvard.edu /Museum, Herbarium & Arboretum Collection Catalogs. - California Academy Invertebrate Zoology & Geology Type Catalog - Cornell Fish Collection - Farlow Herbarium Diatom Catalog - Harvard MCZ (Museum of Comparative Zoology) Entomology Type Catalog - Harvard MCZ (Museum of Comparative Zoology) Fish Type Catalog - Texas Natural History Collection, Fishes - University of Colorado Entomology Database The following is available via gopher at: fowler.acnatsci.org - Neotropical Database of Fish Biodiversity IX) Electronic Journals and Newsletters There are several hundred e-journals and e-newsletters currently available on the Internet. Some are peer reviewed and some are fee based, but most are neither. They can be accessed by sending a subscription request via email to the editor, or through gophers. A main archive is at the Cicnet gopher (gopher.cic.net). --------- * Aquatic Conservation Notes A publication of the Aquatic Conservation Network - to receive a copy email Rob Huntley (rob@pinetree.org). * Aquatic Survival A newsletter of the Aquatic Conservation Network - to receive a copy email Rob Huntley (rob@pinetree.org). * Environmental Resources Information Network (ERIN) Newsletter, Australia.

These files are obtainable through "ftp" (with "anonymous" login) and are indexed and searchable by a resource known as "Archie". To identify a general source for biological files consult "A Biologist's Guide to Internet Resources". For help with using the ftp command or searching Archie - consult a general Internet guide. Many files are now also available through Gopher and found with Veronica. ---------- Bibliographic research guides - includes: freshwater ecology and dolphins. seql.loc.gov (/pub/Library.of.Congress/research.guides/science.tracer.bullets) Environment of the seas. ariel.unm.edu (/pub/MAC/HYPERCARD/Museum) Programs and data by and for marine scientists. biome.bio.dfo.ca (/pub) Tide Program (calculates tides for all of the coastal U.S.) biome.bio.ns.ca (/dfo/habitat/dan) XI) Computer Conferences, Newsgroups, Listservs, Mailing Lists There are thousands of conferences on a variety of topics ranging from the scholarly to the personal. Topics or questions can be posted for discussion or answers. Bitnet and most Internet conferences are known as "Listservs" (based on the software used to manage them) and can be automatically subscribed to by sending a specific command ("subscribe listname yourname" - substitute the conference name and your name and omit "") to the listserv address (e.g. for the conference "biosph-l@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu" you would mail the commands to: listserv@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu). Some internet conferences require subscription requests be directed to individual moderators via email. Usenet conferences are generally known as "Newsgroups". Instead of subscribing to them, they are read with "newsreaders" or through your local Gopher. Consult general Internet Guides or your computing center for further assistance (especially for information about "replying to" or "posting new" messages). A "Directory of Scholarly Electronic Conferences" is available via gopher at: dewey.lib.ncsu.edu /NCSU's Lib. Without Walls/Ref. Desk/Guides/Dir. of Schol. El. Conf. Also browse the "Biologist's Guide to the Internet" available via gopher at: sunsite.unc.edu /Worlds of sunsite by subject/Ecology & Evol./Biologist's Guide. ---------- Internet Listservs aqua-l@vm.uoguelph.ca aquaculture & aquariums aquifer@ibacsata.bitnet pollution and groundwater recharge biocontrol-l@ftpt.br entomological biological control biodiv-l@bdt.ftpt.ansp.br biodiversity networks biosph-l@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu biosphere, ecology, discussion list bmdp-l@vm1.mcgill.ca bmdp software users brine-l@uga.cc.uga.edu brine shrimp discussion list bugnet@wsuvm1.csc.wsu entomology for teachers and bug enthusiasts coastnet@uriacc.uri.edu coastal managment and resources consbio@uwavm.u.washington.edu conservation biology list conslink@sivm.si.edu discussion on biological conservation crust-l@sivm.si.edu crustacean biology cturtle@nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu sea turtle biology and conservation list cyan-tox@grearn.csi.forth.gr toxic cyanobacteria deepsea@uvvm.uvic.ca deep sea and vent news diatom-l@iubvm.ucs.indiana.edu research on the diatom algae ecolog-l@umdd.umd.edu ecological society of america ecosys-l@vm.gmd.de list for ecosystem theory and modeling ecs-news@mailbase.ac.uk european cetacean society news edstat-l@jse.stat.ncsu.edu journal of statistics education list entomo-l@vm.uoguelph.ca entomology discussion list envst-l@brownvm.brown.edu environmental studies discussion list ethology@finhutc.hut.fi ethology fishfolk@mitvma.mit.edu socioeconomics & anthro. of fisheries fish-junior@searn.sunet.se marine science and children/youth hypbar-l@technion.technion.ac.il hyperbaric & diving medicine list iamslic@ucsd.edu marine science library info.service. iapwild@vm1.nodak.edu international arctic project wildlife marman@uvvm.uvic.ca marine mammal research and cons. marine-l@vm.uoguelph.ca marine studies/shipboard education meh2o-l@taunivm.tau.ac.il middle east water (including limnology) micronet@vm.uoguelph.ca fungus and root interaction molluska@uvvm.uvic.ca molluscan taxonomy oceantech@ucsd.edu applied tech. - freshwater, marine odp-l@tamvm1.tamu.edu ocean drilling program open discussion ots-l@yalevm.cis.yale.edu organization for tropical studies polpal-l@vm.uoguelph.ca pollination and palynology list pstat-l@irlearn.ucd.ie discussion of stats and programming sas-l@uga.cc.uga.edu sas discussion (peered) saspac-l@umslvma.umsl.edu sas public access consortium scuba@cc.itu.edu.tr scuba and skin diving spssx-l@uga.cc.uga.edu spssx discussion (peered) stat-l@vm1.mcgill.ca statistical consulting thphysio@frmop11.cnusc.fr thermal physiology water@gibbs.oit.unc.edu water science network water-l@wsuvm1.csc.wsu.edu water quality ---------- Internet Conferences with special subscription instructions * ent-list@um.cc.umich.edu -entomology (contact Mark O'Brien: mfobrien@umich.edu) * env.seashepherd (reposted) - Sea Sheperd Conservation Society (send a subscription request containing your full name, real address and e-mail address to Nick Voth: dcasmedic@aol.com) * fish-ecology@biome.bio.ns.ca -fish and fisheries ecology (send email to: majordomo@biome.bio.ns.ca with the message "subscribe fish-ecology") * fisheries@biome.bio.ns.ca -fisheries management (send email to: majordomo@biome.bio.ns.ca with the message "subscribe fisheries") * killie@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us -killifish, Cyprinodontidae (send email to: killie-request@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us) * mar-facil@ac.dal.ca -marine facilities & aquaria, etc. (send email to: mailserv@ac.dal.ca with the message "subscribe mar-facil") * nia-net@archive.orst.edu -neotropical fish (send email to: nia-net-request@archive.orst.edu with the message "sub nia-net") * wildnet@access.usask.ca -fish and wildlife biology (send email to: wildnet-request@access.usask.ca) Sea Grant "Mailing List" Conferences: To generate a list of discussion groups and procedures for how to subscribe send email to: almanac@oes.orst.edu with the message "send mail-catalog".
