Last revised October 2000 Access to information systems all over the world is now available using computers connected to local, national and international networks. All the services described are developing very rapidly. Use of the network, especially international links, consumes real and scarce resources.
Heavy use can degrade the service to other users.
Most information services allow you to fetch files onto your own computer system to store or print. This includes information on the University and the Computing Service, as well as Cambridge area information. It also gives easy access to other WWW services in Cambridge and worldwide, and to various library catalogues and electronic directories. It is usually possible to access such material either by quoting its URL explicitly or by following links from the University Information Service home page. You can also search University servers, or servers worldwide, for particular keywords, using search facilities available from the University home page.
