Abstract

The Internet now provides access to so much information that it is a problem to know what is available and how to navigate through it. The Wide Area Information Server (WAIS) is one project aiming to help solve the problem for the end user, by means of a graphical user inferface and the use of natural language for queries, which is then translated into the WAIS protocol. Describes how WAIS was developed, how it works, and difficulties with the project

Abstract

The World Wide Web (WWW) is one of the newest tools available to assist in the navigation of the Internet. As with other client/server network tools such as Gopher and WAIS, developments with the Web are in a dynamic state of change. Basically, WWW is an effort to organize information on the Internet plus local information into a set of hypertext documents; a person navigates the network by moving from one document to another via a set of hypertext links

Abstract

The Internet provides access to hundreds of library and information systems around the world. However, online library systems and databases exhibit a variety of limitations which are often not apparent to the user. Briefly discusses the following: scope and content of databases; limitations for locally loaded periodical indexes; dissimilar search protocols; unfamiliar log- in, log-off and terminal requirements; online help and ease of use; and passwording

Abstract

The Internet refers to more than 50.000 backbone regional and local computer networks in more than 50 countries with an estimated user base of over 3 million people. Finding out who has what available on the Internet has become a real problem since the network is expanding so quickly. Describes Archie (the McGill School of Computer Science Archive Server Listing Service), a tool which was developed to help solve this problem. Also describes Gopher, a distributed networking and document delivery system designed to access electronic information and navigate the Internet

Abstract

The Communications Decency Act provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, USA, has provoked opposition due to its potential impact on the Internet. Journalists have filed a legal challenge and the American Civil Liberties Union and 20 other organizations have obtained a restraining order. Gives examples of the types of communications that would be covered by the act anf gives details of WWW sites with information on the act
