This article describes the Internet Gopher: why it is needed, how
it is used, its genesis and early evolution, the underlying
protocol (and the new Gopher+ protocol), Gopher's role as a
campus-wide information system (CWIS), and its emerging role as
an Internet-wide information system.  The article also discusses
navigational enhancements (e.g., Veronica), organization and
quality of service issues, privacy and security concerns,
electronic publishing issues, distribution of multimedia
information, related client and network information technologies,
and Gopher's future.
