Here are the statistics for the use of CMS View and VM Gopher services in
July.  CMS View is available only to CMS users - either using their own
userid or by logging on to one of the anonymous View userids.  VM Gopher
is available to CMS users and anyone with a workstation with campus
ethernet access and Gopher client software. (We have client software for
Macintosh, DOS, and Unix systems.) Our Gopher server is also available
world-wide through the Internet and provides a convenient path to other
servers by campus users.
 
The transaction counts are counts of menu picks - when someone picks an
item from a View or Gopher menu that is one transaction.  A transaction
could lead to a document, a search, or another menu.
 
Gopher:                                 View:
22,798 total transactions               67,332 total transactions
 4,211 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu)     1,607 from anonymous View logons
 1,387 UK campus network workstations
17,200 from off-campus
 
 
The Gopher Hit Parade
 
Last month's position and the number of Gopher references this month are in
brackets.  View follows the same pattern, so you can multiply the Gopher
numbers by about 3 to get the View numbers.  These references are generally
to documents or searches, not menus.
