Wide Area Information Service (WAIS)



Wide Area Information Service (WAIS)
WAIS is an Internet search tool that has the capability of searching many databases at one time. WAIS can be accessed via Telnet, Gopher or a WAIS client program and increasingly, WAIS indexed databases are accessible through the World Wide Web.

The Internet is the global network of networks which either use the TCP / IP protocols or are able to interact with TCP / IP networks via gateways, and provides users with electronic mail messaging, remote login, file transfer, network news, the WWW, and other related services and tools. The Internet offers access to data, graphics, sound, software, text, and people through a variety of services and tools for communication and data exchange.

The number of people who use the Internet is growing exponentially and will continue to grow faster. The Internet is your window of the Information Super Highway and people who are Internet Illiterates will be soon left behind in the race to the top, may it be in business, education, research or any other field.
