Here are the statistics for the use of network information servers for
December 1994.  This includes World-Wide Web, Gopher, Qi/Ph Directory,
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, although some data is restricted to UK users.
 
Web clients (like Mosaic and Netscape) 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 Web
client use is the most complex because of the number of protocols they
support.  A document on the Web server can refer the client to another
Web document, a Gopher item, or Qi/Ph search without the client 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 counts as one
transaction.  A transaction could lead to a document, a search, or
another menu.  Web transactions are for documents and searches.  What
the Web user sees as a single page might involve multiple server
accesses.  Qi/Ph transactions are searches and requests for additional
information.

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.

The primary campus Gopher and Qi/Ph servers are running on the IBM 3090
(gopher.uky.edu or ukcc.uky.edu) under VM/ESA. The primary Web server
is running on the Convex Metasystem (www.uky.edu) under Unix. Additional
Web service is provided by the IBM 3090 VM/ESA system.
