University of California librarians have just received this information about
how to easily access California legislative material through the gopher at
UC Santa Cruz.

Subject: CA Legislative Info on InfoSlug
I have just finished the succesful conversion of the Gopher software
to enable direct links to the California Legislative Information
files that are now publicly available on the Internet by mandate of
Assembly Bill 1624. Included are the state Constitution, Senate and
Assembly Bills, the California Code and Statutes, and miscellaneous
directories and guides to the legislative process and the
Legislature. I have added these resources to the "Guide to
Government--U.S., State and Local" in InfoSlug, which may be located
in several sections within the main menu:
The Community
The Library -> Electronic Reference Books
The Researcher -> Social Sciences
I'll be sending a notice out to the GO4LIB-L listserv of library
Gopher managers announcing this, too, but wanted to let you know
that you can now refer people to InfoSlug as a gateway. I suppose
we should forward this to the searcher list on stubbs or wherever
else you feel it's appropriate to advertise it. If they need to
know how to connect other than through the Melvyl USE command, they
should gopher to gopher.ucsc.edu if they have a Gopher client. Or,
they can telnet to infoslug.ucsc.edu and login as infoslug. Better
yet, for those running other Gopher servers, the link information
is:
Name=California Legislative Information
Type=1+
Port=70
Path=1/The Community/Guide to Government--U.S., State and
Local/California Legislative Information
Host=gopher.ucsc.edu
