|
DISCUSSION LISTS (2ND EDITION) PUBLISHED BY ARL
|
|
|
|
Responding to the library and academic communities' increasing
|
|
use of and interest in the burgeoning number of electronic
|
|
publications, the Association of Research Libraries has published
|
|
the second edition of its hard-copy Directory of Electronic
|
|
Journals, Newsletters, and Academic Discussion Lists (ISSN
|
|
1057-1337).
|
|
|
|
The Directory is a compilation of entries for 769 scholarly
|
|
lists, 36 journals, 80 newsletters, and 17 "other" titles
|
|
including some newsletter-digests--an increase in size of close
|
|
to 50% since the first edition was published in July 1992. The
|
|
directory provides specific instructions for electronic access to
|
|
each publication.
|
|
|
|
The Directory includes a reprint of scientist Stevan Harnad's
|
|
visionary description of "scholarly skywriting" originally
|
|
published in The Public-Access Computer Systems Review (volume 2,
|
|
number 1) as "Post-Gutenberg Galaxy: The Fourth Revolution in the
|
|
Means of Production of Knowledge."
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Author/compiler of the journals and newsletters section is
|
|
Michael Strangelove, Network Research Facilitator, University of
|
|
Ottawa. Diane Kovacs of the Kent State University Libraries
|
|
created the scholarly discussion lists and interest groups
|
|
section. The printed ARL directory is derived from widely
|
|
accessible networked files maintained by Strangelove and Kovacs
|
|
(see below).
|
|
|
|
The Directory is produced in 8 1/2" by 11" paper-bound format.
|
|
Scholarly lists are grouped by broad subject areas, and journals
|
|
and newsletters are in alphabetical order. The Directory is also
|
|
available in either DOS or Macintosh 3.5" diskette form.
|
|
|
|
The publication is available to ARL member libraries for $12.50
|
|
and to non-members for $25.00. These charges include domestic
|
|
postage and handling. All countries outside North America pay
|
|
additional postage. All orders must be prepaid and sent to the
|
|
Association of Research Libraries. ARL can supply an order form
|
|
via e-mail.

ELECTRONIC VERSION OF THE JOURNAL OF TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION OFFERS
|
|
GRAPHICS
|
|
|
|
The Journal of Technology Education, launched three years ago as
|
|
a refereed scholarly print journal, has initiated simultaneous
|
|
publication of an electronic edition with its first issue of
|
|
1992. The new publication includes graphics--one of the first
|
|
electronic scholarly journals to do so.
|
|
|
|
The current issue of the journal, which is published twice a year
|
|
by the Technology Education Program at Virginia Polytechnic
|
|
Institute and State University, is now available in electronic
|
|
form without charge via Bitnet and Internet. The text of the
|
|
journal's articles are offered in ASCII format, which is
|
|
traditional for many network-based electronic journals. A single
|
|
graphic illustration of one of the articles is available as a
|
|
separate PostScript file. In the future, more graphic
|
|
illustrations will be offered.
|
|
|
|
JTE, as the journal is known, is co-sponsored by the
|
|
International Technology Education Association and the Council on
|
|
Technology Teacher Education. The electronic version is
|
|
published with the cooperation of Virginia Tech's Scholarly
|
|
Communications Project, which earlier this year initiated the
|
|
publication of an electronic version of the 20-year-old print
|
|
journal Catalyst.
|
|
|
|
To become an electronic subscriber of the JTE, send the following
|
|
e-mail message to LISTSERV@VTVM1 (BITNET) or to
|
|
LISTSERV@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU (Internet):
