The Biotechnology Information Center, an information center of the National Agricultural Library, has developed a rich source of current Biotechnology-related information available via Internet. The files at the site include bibliographies composed primarily of citations from scientific journals and some popular periodicals (many with abstracts), on subjects ranging from public perception to gene expression in algae and fungi. In addition, several miscellaneous publications dealing with biotechnology meetings, directories and audio-visuals are also available. Numerous links to other biotechnology-related gophers have also been included. In addition to the documents prepared by the Biotechnology Information Center are files created by the Plant Genome and Data Information Center, dealing with gene mapping in a range of plant species. The gopher site already contains more than eighty files, and new files are being added every week. To access these files via Gopher: telnet inform.umd.edu OR gopher inform.umd.edu -Educational Resources -Biotechnology_Information_Center If you prefer to access the documents via FTP, follow the same path as the one listed above. If you have only email access, talk to your Internet provider about "FTPmail," a method of accessing these files via email. Many of the current books about Internet also describe FTPmail. Please send us your questions and comments. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Biotechnology Information Center (BIC) voice1: (301)-504-5947 | | National Agricultural Library - USDA voice2: (301)-504-5340 | | 10301 Baltimore Blvd. fax: (301)-504-7098 | | Beltsville, MD 20705-2351 USA e-mail:biotech@nalusda.gov | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Daniel Cabirac cabirac@wam.umd.edu | | Ray Dobert rdobert@nalusda.gov | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
