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 <JAYMACHADO@delphi.com>
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 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".

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. [Billy Barron (billy@cic.net), PACS-L,
