Developed at the University of Minnesota, the GOPHER information system is still important. An understanding of its workings is not merely of historical interest. Rather, knowledge of gopher can be extremely useful when one enters that part of the Web known as 'gopherspace.' Here are links to a number of interesting gopher resources.

• Here is the gopher FAQ.
• Here is EFF's guide to gopher.
• The Veronica system is used to locate information in gopherspace.

• A nice tour of gopher-space may be obtained through the gopher jewels page.
