        cataloging a work in Zulu while a bit earlier a library in Finland helped a library in Mississippi catalog a work in Estonian. Questions on interpretation of AACR2r, organization
        of   technical services units, appropriate MARC coding, formulation of subject headings, appropriate class numbers in LCC or DCC, announcements of forthcoming meetings,

    "Electronic publishing is changing the world we live in. It is changing what publishers do. It is changing the way scientists, business people, and students -- all of us -- work. In this environment of change and uncertainty, the publisher faces many challenges: details such as Web design, server management, pricing (and collecting the revenue!) as well as the big policy questions. The Journal of Electronic Publishing is for the thoughtful forward-thinking publisher, librarian, scholar, or author -- in fact, anyone in this new business -- facing those challenges. We aim to range widely in our coverage, but the emphasis will be on the broader issues that should shape policy, and on professional, scientific or academic publishing, both books and journals. JEP faces the same problems as any electronic publication, and we intend to make a virtue of that by using the Journal as a testbed to try ideas and to show to you, our readers, what happens when we do. We hope for successes, of course, but we will report on our failures, too. " This site provides a full-text access to this electronic journal, from vol. 1, issue 1/2, January/February 1995.

    (The Alliance). Hardware funding was received from the State Library of Colorado through the Library Services and
    Construction Act (LSCA). As with any major web development project, this home page is the result of collaborative work by
    many individuals.
    The e-journal project and web site are the result of work begun in the fall of 1995 and partially funded by an LSCA grant. This
    home page provides a title and subject organization of electronic serial publications (e.g. journals, newsletters, magazines,
    e'zines, webzines) on the Internet. The project also funds the loading of selected e-journals on the local server. Local loading
    will allow easier access for some titles currently on the Internet and will provide new titles not previously available on-line.”


- Electronic Journals: A Selected Resource Guide

    "This Resource guide is an introduction to the rapidly growing field of electronic journals. The sources are spread broadly across the library literature, and this guide attempts to select a representative, but not exhaustive, group of publications that cover the history of e-journals and the main issues involved in their production, management and use. The guide also suggests starting points for more in-depth investigations, and includes sources for keeping current with ongoing developments in electronic journals.
    Likely readers of this guide will include library staff who are involved in the selection, management, and distribution of electronic journals; systems staff who are involved in providing access to them; managers who are making electronic journals available in their libraries; and publishers, vendors and distributors of electronic journals.
    Most of the sources listed here are available on the World Wide Web. Every attempt will be made to keep this resource guide current and to make sure that the links are active."

- Electronic References & Scholarly Citations of Internet Sources

    "The purpose of this document is to keep track of materials dealing with the emerging standards for electronic references and scholarly citations of Internet Sources in both paper and online publications. The links that are provided here constitute an edited selection from the full range of sites currently available on the Web. The sites that are included are considered to either:provide an original contribution to, or discussion of, the issues surrounding the citation of electronic resources offer a systematic solution for the citation of electronic material OR provide a clear summary or crib sheet to this material."


- The Etext Archives

    "The ETEXT Archives were founded in the Summer of 1992 by Paul Southworth, hosted by the User Services department of the University of Michigan's Information Technology Division. The web was just a glimmer, gopher was the new hot technology, and FTP was still the standard information retrieval protocol for the vast majority of users. The origin of the project has caused numerous people to associate it with the University of Michigan, although in fact there has never been an official relationship and the project is supported entirely by volunteer labor and contributions. The equipment is wholly owned by the project maintainers.
    The project was started in response to the lack of organized archiving of political documents, periodicals and discussions disseminated via Usenet on newsgroups such as alt.activism, misc.activism.progressive, and alt.society.anarchy. The alt.politics.radical-left group came later and was also a substantial source of both materials and regular contributors." "The Etext Archives (est. 1992) are home to electronic texts of all kinds, from the sacred to the profane, from the political to the personal. Our duty is to provide electronic versions of texts without judging their content."
    Includes: "Zines [Electronic periodicals from the professional to the personal], The Quartz Archive [An archive of etexts formerly hosted at quartz.rutgers.edu.], CuD [A mirror of the Computer Underground Digest archives], Philosophy [A few philosophical contribution], Politics [Political material ranging from Zines to essays], Mailing Lists [Various mailing lists, archived by month], Religion [Mainstream and not-so-mainstream religious texts], Legal [Legal documents and essays]."

- Alex Catalogue of Electronic Texts
             "The Alex Catalogue of Electronic Texts is a collection of digital documents. The scope of documents in the collection includes items from American literature, English
            literature, and Western philosophy.  The Catalogue has a number of unique features. First, not only can you search for and display texts from the collection, but you can also
            search the content of located texts. For example, you can search for Mark Twain's The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn. You can then search the content of The Adventures
            for  the words like fish and belly to get a description of Huck Finn's father.  Moreover, you can search the content of multiple documents simultaneously. For example, you can
            first locate all the documents in the collection authored by Mark Twain. Next, you can search selected documents for something like slav* to draw out themes across texts.
            Another unique feature of the Catalogue is the on-the-fly creation of PDF files. Using this option you can specify things like fonts and font sizes for your output. For example,
            you can create a PDF version of Washington Irving's Rip Van Winkle. This feature allows you to create simply formatted but very readable documents for printing; the
            documents in the collection are not necessarily intended to be read online.  A third unique feature of the Catalogue is the free goodies available for downloading. These
            goodies include complete sets of the collected documents and the tools necessary to search them without the use of your Web browser. While you will still need a direct
            Internet connection, the search tools provide the means for more complex content analysis and enhance access to texts in the collection. [Eric Lease Morgan,

            are preceded by a few sites where one may learn to search on the World Wide Web, a collection of synonym dictionaries and thesauri (to find the right search terms), experts
            to ask questions and the URL's of a number of fee-based services which offer to do the searching for  you. Next, under the heading Search engine code texts you'll find the
            adresses of some sites with pieces of code which you can paste in your own homepages to offer direct access to a number of search engines. Finally I included information
            about making your own site searchable and a link to a collection of online bookmark managers. (A well organized bookmark file still is one of the best earch tools one could

            glossary is whether or not the average reader, researcher, or librarian might reasonably be expected to encounter it at some point in his (or her) career. The technical vocabulary
            of publishing and information technology, and of library and information science, has been included when the author determined that a definition might prove useful not only
            to professionals, but also to the general library user. Although it may appeal to a wider audience, Hypertext Library Lingo is intended to meet the needs of college and
            university students and faculty, including librarians."
