For your information, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's study, University
Libraries and Scholarly Communication, is now available on the Internet.
The work was supported by the Mellon Foundation, believing that electronic
distribution is critical, particularly given the nature of the information
in the report.

The work is accessible via three different sites, and once you get to
there, the arrangement is self-explanatory.  GOPHER access is your easiest
option (though you may ftp to the same sites):

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA LIBRARIES:

gopher gopher.lib.virginia.edu
then, choose Alphabetical Arrangement
then, choose University Libraries & Scholarly Communication (Mellon report)

COALITION FOR NETWORKED INFORMATION (to be up in early July)

gopher gopher.cni.org
then, choose ARL
then, choose University Libraries....

AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY

gopher e-math.ams.org
then, choose General Information
then, choose University Libraries...

We particularly wish to acknowledge the substantial work of the
following people who made this networked version possible:

David Rodgers and the systems group at the American Mathematical Society,
Ann Arbor, for file conversion, particularly scanning of the non-
textual materials.

John Price-Wilkin, University of Virginia Libraries, for organizing
the files for the Internet gopher and ftp.

If you have further questions, please message me.  Please let others
in your institution know of the availability of these materials.
