   The Information Retrieval Research section covers Floodgap's projects on older
   information access technologies for these technologies' maintenance and continued
   development. As a result, some of these project services are not offered over the
   Web or HTTP.

   For services hosted on our Gopher server, your web browser must be capable of
   Gopherspace access. For information on supported web browsers, or to use the
   public gopher proxy available at Floodgap, please refer to the [11]Gopher Proxy
   main page.

   You can also download free Gopher clients and browser add-ons for your supported
   mobile phone, desktop computer or web browser from the [12]Overbite Project.
