The WWW Hit Parade These were the most popular pages on the main Web servers (www.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu). Web client access to the Gopher server is counted below with the other Gopher counts. The count for the Computer Labs is exaggerated because the lab computers are configured to use that page as home. Month Daily Total Avg. 1. Computer Labs 255,307 8,510 2. Artsource 72,618 2,421 3.

Athletics 15 4 19 0.6 * These campus directory accesses do not count access through the Ph server. The activity of the WHOIS directory server isn't counted. Notes The services covered here are the 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 local users. Web clients (like Netscape and 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 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 transactions. Qi/Ph transactions are searches and requests for additional information. The primary campus Gopher and Qi/Ph servers are running on an IBM 9672 (gopher.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu) under VM/ESA. The primary Web server is running on an HP 9000/800 G30 (www.uky.edu) under HP-UX. Additional Web service is provided by the IBM 9672 VM/ESA system (ukcc.uky.edu).
