Here are the statistics for the use of network information servers for
March.  This includes World-Wide Web (www.uky.edu), Gopher
(gopher.uky.edu), Qi/Ph  Directory (ukcc.uky.edu), and CMS View.  CMS
View is available only to CMS users - either using their own userid or by
logging on to one of the anonymous View userids.  The other services are
available to workstations with campus ethernet access or terminals on
multi-user systems with appropriate software.  Most of these services are
available world-wide over the Internet.
 
Web clients (like Mosaic) can use all of these services, Gopher
clients can use all but the Web services, and Ph and Eudora clients
can use Qi/Ph services.  (We distribute versions of most of these for
Macintosh, Windows, and some Unix platforms.) Tracking Mosaic use is
the most complex because of the number of protocols it supports.  A
document on the Web server can refer the client to another Web
document, a Gopher item, or Qi/Ph search without the Mosaic user's
awareness.
 
The transaction counts are counts of Gopher and View 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.  Web
transactions are for documents and searches.  Qi/Ph transactions are
searches and requests for additional information.
 
Both View and Gopher use continue to grow, with Gopher growing faster.
The fastest growing segment is access from campus workstations.  We have
just begun tracking Web and Qi/Ph activity, but Web activity seems to be
growing very quickly.
 
Gopher (gopher.uky.edu):
  76,793 total transactions, up 16% since last month
  19,216 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), up 8%
   9,608 UK campus network workstations, up 25%
  47,969 from off-campus, up 17%
 
World-Wide Web (www.uky.edu):
  30,469 total transactions
  19,839 UK campus network workstations
  10,630 from off-campus
 
Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu):
  22,379 total transactions
   2,264 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu)
   1,488 UK campus network workstations
  18,627 from off-campus
 
View (ukcc.uky.edu only):
  98,281 total transactions, up 13%
   6,033 from anonymous View ids, up 19%
 
The servers are used 24 hours each day from all over the world, but most
use is from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm, with a concentration from 1:00 pm
until 5:00 pm Eastern Time.
 
 
The Hit Parade
 
These were the most used items on the Gopher and View services. (Some
of this activity is from Web clients.) These figures are total trans-
actions with a daily average.
