-
- THE GREAT LAKES INFORMATION SERVICE is now available for ftp!
-
- Fact Sheets about various Great Lakes topics and issues, along with two
- years worth of new stories from the Great Lakes Reporter, can be found
- via anonymous ftp at nic.cic.net, in the subdirectory
- /pub/great-lakes/cgl (where you'll find a readme.txt file which explains
- and lists what's available in what subdirectory).
-
- Topics covered by Fact Sheets include Great Lakes water diversion, water
- quality, waterfront development, pollution prevention, regional and
- international agreements such as the Great Lakes Water QUality
- Agreement, and the effects of global warming on the Lakes.
-
- The Great Lakes Reporter, a regional newsmagazine published by The
- Center for the Great Lakes, covers news, trends, and issues relating the
- environment of the Great Lakes ecosystem and the economy of the region,
- especially when they interact. You will find every major story that ahs
- appeared in the Reporter since the start of 1990, listed by subject area
- with headlines for easy access and searching. Typical topics include
- coverage of the historic regional public meetings held in Traverse City
- in October 1991; trends in various key economic sectors around the
- Lakes; analysis of current water quality planning and activities by
- governments, industry and citizen's groups around the region; waterfront
- development aroound the Lakes; "invader" species such as the zebra
- mussel; the state and future of the Great Lakes' fishery; the status of
- proposals to divert Great Lakes water, and so forth.
-
- The Reporter is a part of the Great Lakes Information Service, a public
- service of The Center for the Great Lakes. This ftp access is the first
- step in a long-range plan to put the Information Service "on-line"; more
- Fact Sheets on more topics will be added, Reporter stories will be
- continuously added as they are published, and existing Fact Sheets are
- periodically updated by Center researchers.
-
- For more information, or to receive this material by U.S. Mail, send
- email to prb@chinet.chi.il.us. The Information Service also responds to
- requests for information from researchers, inlcuding searches of our
- library, and picking the brains of our brilliant, experienced and modest
- staff. Call 312-263-0785 and ask for Paul Botts or Noah Eiger; be sure
- and tell us where you heard of us, so we know whether this method of
- making the service known is working!
