Gopher Search

Gopher lets you search for resources using menus. It originated at the University of Minnesota which has (as you guessed it) a gopher for a mascot. Insted of accessing with the adress of the domain, you select any entry in a gopher menu and like the human "gofers' of the world, Gopher goes out for the material you want. Gopher is like a regular library subject catalog and it will search for the holdings of many libraries for your subject.

gopher fatty.law.cornell.edu which is the Cornell Legal Information Institute of Cornell Law School.

edu - educational institute

other domain adresses are as follows:
com - commercial and buisness
gov - government institutions
mil - military institutions
net - network recorces
org - other organizations

If you're confused thus still on how gopher searches operate. See your system administrator, media specialist, brilliant friend or librarian for help!

Pre-search

Looking up information someone or something before you even have an idea of what it might be, as in you’re pre-search will help decide if you even want to consider tackling a problem (or dating someone you hope is freaky)

“He asked me to listen to a weird sound coming from his motorcycle, so I told him to send me the make model and year so i could do some Pre-search on it”
