Here are the statistics for the use of CMS View and VM Gopher services in
September.  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:
 37,161 total transactions               81,832 total transactions
  7,880 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu)     5,628 from anonymous View ids
  3,540 UK campus network workstations
 25,741 from off-campus
 
 
The Gopher Hit Parade
 
The number of Gopher references this month and last month's position on
the Gopher Hit Parade are indicated for each item.  View follows the same
pattern, so you can multiply the Gopher numbers by about 2 to get
approximate View numbers.  These references are generally to documents or
searches, not menus.
