Subject: Hypermedia in music

A colleague from Germany asked if I could direct him to contacts with
people who are working on uses of hypermedia in music, more specifically
in musicology. Since this is an area I know nothing about, I realize
that this is a very poorly dilineated request. I believe that he is
specifically interested in Mac applications. If you send any
information you have directly to me, I will summarize it and post it to
HUMANIST. Maybe this will reduce the volume of network traffic. My
e-mail address is WMCROSS@BROWNVM (Bitnet) or WMCROSS@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU
(Internet).

I will appreciate any help you can give me.

Subject: EARN/BITNET access from Belgium

I am writing for a friend who lives in Brussels and is having difficulty
getting connected to EARN/BITNET. The main difficulty is that while is
an active participant in one of the faculties of the university, he does
not have the right classification to be granted an account at the
university. I would appreciate any suggestions on how he might be able
to connect to EARN via a local private network or any other suggestions
toward solving this rather bureaucratic problem.

Subject: Habits of electronic research

Along the lines of the discussion of how word processors in
general and of specific types may affect habits of writing,
I wonder if any of you care to speculate on how electronic
databases (library catalogs, searchable texts, bibliographies,
etc.) may affect habits of research. Personally, I find
these facilities make me more enthusiastic and more likely
to pursue a matter to ground, but I'm a prof. I wonder
what this does for our students?
