Histogram of US and UIUC connections. Weekly percentages of Gopher connections from College of Education, UIUC, and US Internet addresses Action Analysis. There are thousands of Gopher servers on the Internet. We want to determine to what extent our LRS is being used intentionally and for what purposes. When connections are followed by no actions, we can assume that the user is, at best, browsing the server.
Actions can follow either type of server entry.
When an action occurs, then, we have a rough indication that the resource was intentionally accessed and, perhaps, has value to the user. Table 2 shows the frequencies of client actions on the server. The Total of attribute queries and item transfers forms a rough estimate of intentional actions on the Gopher server by all clients. The values for Jan. 29 and Apr. 3 were not included in the calculations for the mean and standard deviations. In addition to the construction of the LRS, we now have more sources of data with which we can analyze the effect of the LRS on the TTA project and other learning communities.
