The students at the Ecole de bibliotheconomie et des sciences de
l'information (EBSI, School of library and information science) at the
Universite de Montreal launched their e-journal entitled CURSUS last month.

A student initiative, CURSUS (ISBN 1201-7302) is an electronic journal
that specialises in library and information science. The journal is
distributed on the Internet and contains articles written in French by EBSI
students. It is intended as a complement to the school's pedagogical
activities, and seeks to distribute excellent student work from the
school's master's program. An additional goal of the journal is to
contribute original French-language content to the Internet.

The editorial board is constituted entirely of students, and has
developed a selection process which uses referees. For each article
submitted, the referees include both students and professors at the
school. These referees evaluate the articles and make recommendations to
the editorial board, which makes the decision whether to publish each
text or not.

The frequency of the new journal is two issues per year (October and
April). The articles are available on the World Wide Web at the journal's
address
        http://mistral.ere.umontreal.ca/~beaudryg/cursus

as well as via the school's gopher

        gopher://tornade.ere.umontreal.ca:7072

CURSUS texts are also available in ASCII format, in WordPerfect5.1 for
IBM users, and in Word 4 for Macintosh users, and can be downloaded from
the journal's ftp site (ftp://ftp.umontreal.ca/CURSUS).
