Home page for serials collections & resources Birdie MacLennan 09 Feb 1995 20:29 UTC

I've been working on putting together a World Wide Web home page
of serials resources and collections that are available on the
Internet.  It's still in development and probably will be for a
while (forever?).  It's somewhat of a "minimalist" approach in that
there aren't too many graphics and it concentrates primarily on links
to the various sources.  It's called  "Serials in Cyberspace."

The address/URL is:  http://www.uvm.edu/~bmaclenn

Sections include:

- E-Journal collections and services (web and gopher sites)
- Selected E-Journal titles
- "Other" sources (links to collection development resources;
  Ms. Acquisitions' home page; Publishers' Catalogs; OCLC;
  List of Libraries that have established Web home pages (T. Dowling
  listing from U. Washington).
- There's also a link to the gopherized version of the WAIS index
  of the SERIALST listserv archives (so you can run a keyword search
  on the SERIALST archives from the Web - but be aware this index can
  sometimes be painfully out-of-date because it's updated manually; the
  best way to search the SERIALST archives is still via the LDBASE search
  search protocols that are available via the UVMVM listserver).

As noted, it's still under development, its organization scheme is still
being worked on, and it's also unlikely that it will ever be in a state
of *not* being under development.

Feel free to check it out.  Questions, comments, suggestions are
welcome (you can send e-mail from the web page).
