search programs like Gopher,
which are menu-driven and hierarchical,
the WWW cross-references users
to related subjects, so that a search
under Languages might lead the user
to a section on Gaelic, with an option
to look up information on different dialects,
Gaelic culture, literature and
more. Information like this is retrievable
to the user's computer at the
lab and is invaluable as a source of information
ranging over the entire world.
