It can also be customized to reflect individual interests. Using a Gopher client, the user connects to different servers, each providing information in a browsable menu tree. Often when an item is selected, the server passes users on to another server which stores the information - without users needing to know that server's address. The first server screen which comes up is usually the home Gopher server at the University of Minnesota. From there, you can browse through the hierarchy to locate items of interest.
Gopher clients can also go directly to a specific site, such as gopher.hk.super.net.
More graphical clients are also available for most computers, and can be found at boombox.micro.umn.edu. The TurboGopher program for the Macintosh is available on the Library Lab Server. Gopher also provides a search utility called Veronica, which enables you to issue keyword searches for resources of interest. You can mail items of interest to your e-mail account or use the desktop clients to save them to disk. Interesting and useful menus can be saved as bookmarks, so you can go straight back to them next time.
