SimuWeb

Without a real-time connection to the Internet, we are not yet able to access the millions of servers and nearly a billion documents on the World Wide Web.  However, we have a good head start in the form of the UNIJOS SimuWeb: a Web server attached to the UNIJOS Local Area Network with four gigabytes of Web sites copied from the Internet.

SimuWeb includes such notable Web sites as The Virtual Hospital, The Gutenburg Project, and that of the African Mathematical Union, as well as many computer-related sites.

Developed by physicians at the University of Iowa, The Virtual Hospital is a comprehensive medical resource that contains over one thousand patient information brochures and hundreds of resources for doctors and medical students.   This site contains entire medical textbooks, used by medical schools around the world, featuring text, images, video and audio features.

The Gutenburg Project contains over 1,200 works in the English language which have been converted to computer text by volunteers around the globe.   It includes documents ranging from the Holy Bible and the Holy Koran to the works of William Shakespeare, Frederick Douglass and Leo Tolstoy.  Users can read the texts on-line, copy them to a diskette for later perusal, or print them out in their entirety.

SimuWeb offers the UNIJOS community no-cost, high-speed access to thousands of high-quality documents and multimedia from any computer connected to the UNIJOS network.
