Subject:      Survey of Gopher access to e-journals

A few weeks ago I posted a 5-question survey to this list requesting that
those who use Gopher to provide access to electronic journals respond.  To
date, I have received 10 responses from people responsible for Gopher access
to electronic publications.  I'd like to ask once more for a response from
others about how they are handling electronic journals in their libraries --
the original posting follows.
****************************************************************************

PLEASE disregard this message if you are not using GOPHER to store and access
electronic journals --

I am interested in determining how libraries who use the GOPHER software are
choosing to make electronic journals available to their patrons.  My primary
question is whether the local library is downloading the files to a local
computer or if they are only using GOPHER to point to another remote archive
for these files.  If you could take a few minutes to answer the following
5 questions, I would appreciate your assistance.

[Note: these questions have been cross-posted to VPIEJ-L and SERIALST.]

************************************************************************

1) How many electronic journal titles (menu choices) do you have on your
GOPHER server?

        # of titles/menu choices ______

2) How many electronic journal titles do you have stored on your local
(institution or library) computer?

        # of titles stored locally ______

3) What is the name of your institution?

4) Please give the address and menu path to your electronic journals on
your GOPHER server.

5) If I have other questions about your GOPHER server and electronic
journals, who can I contact?

Please send responses directly to me rather than the list.  I will summarize
for the list if there is sufficient interest in the question.  Thank you for
your time.
