The third section of the tour covers print resources available at the library. The location of the business reference books is then pointed out. The final and most lengthy section of the tour covers job hunting resources on the Internet. The Binghamton Univer- sity libraries have public terminals which allow access to Internet resources. Through a Windows system, the public terminals provide easy access to other libraries' catalogs, online journals, indexes, and the Binghamton University Library gopher.
Gopher is a type of software which provides a menu-based access to Internet resources.
Tour participants are seated, usually two to a terminal, and guided through the beginning steps of going through gopher menus. A handout with basic instructions is provided, but most individuals prefer to follow the spoken instructions. Our Internet terminals use a mouse to point and click through various menu selections. Only a few tour participants usually show any interest in jobs in higher education. The Online Career Center provides listings for job openings all over the country and some international postings as well.
