To CWIS-L list:

I've finished the update of the list of systems you can try out.
Instructions for getting it are included below along with changes made in
this edition. If you cannot get a copy yourself and would like me to
e-mail it to you, just let me know. It is 1213 lines long.

Thanks to all for your help.

Campus-Wide Information Systems (CWIS)
=============================================================
The following is information from the listserver
[email-masked], prepared by Judy Hallman
([email-masked]), UNC-Chapel Hill, August 20, 1993.

You can pick up this list by anonymous ftp to sunsite.unc.edu;
cd pub/docs/about-the-net/cwis, get cwis-l (that's the letter l).

Or point your gopher to:

Name=cwis-l   list of campus wide information services connectable from
              the Internet
Type=0
Port=70
Path=0/.pub/docs/about-the-net/cwis/cwis-l
Host=sunsite.unc.edu

Using UNC's laUNChpad system or LIBS on the UNC-CH VAX

The laUNChpad System, offered by UNC-CH, can connect you to many
of the information systems in this list. You may access laUNChpad
through telnet, using launchpad.unc.edu as the connection. For
"username" type 'launch'. When you get laUNChpad's menu, select
item 3, "On-line Information Systems (LIBTEL)."

Or you can use similar software on the UNC-CH DEC VAX computer's
VMS service. Connect to  uncvx1.oit.unc.edu; for "username" type
LIBTEL. When you get the LIBS menu, select item  3 "Campus-wide
Information Systems."

The two systems are quite similar, presenting essentially the same
information using different menus. LaUNCHpad automates more of the
connection steps.

Gophers

Many CWISs are done in Gopher software (from the University of
Minnesota). Once you connect to one gopher, you usually have
access to all the others that are registered. If you do not have
local access to a gopher, here are just two of many you can telnet
to (emulate a vt100):

consultant.micro.umn.edu (134.84.132.3) -- home of the gopher!
login as gopher

gopher.unc.edu -- the UNC SunSITE gopher
login as gopher
