Now for the assignment part. Use a newsreader to get a list of newsgroups, and find one that sounds interesting. Subscribe to it and start reading. Print off a message to turn in. Next, go to a gopher site or other collection of files.
Gopher sites are all over.
Navigate your way to an interesting gopher site and see what you can find there. The idea of the assignment is to encourage you to look into newsgroups, gophers, and database collections and demonstrate your ability to get information out of them. Turn it in for full points by class time on 28 September. Don't forget to add your name. Post the site addresses and the reviews to the class listserv.
