LIBRARIES OF THE FUTURE

I sent a message last week on HUMANIST concerning the
libraries of the future. My main interest in this matter is to
get an idea of the extend to wich new libraries will be
computerized: will it be only computerized bibliographical
reference searches or fully automated reference room and loan
services? Which librairies plan to go as far as using only
full-text retrieval systems (also called on-line exploitation of
e-texts and e-books) instead of paper books?

Subject: Tagged texts

I would be grateful for some bibliography on tagged texts and in knowing
if there is ready-made software for producing them.

You may anticipate my gratitude.

Subject: Hypertext development systems

I'm looking for hypertext development/research systems that may be available
free or for a minimal fee. Ideally, I would love to find something that would
run on unix/x-windows (Sun4 or Dec station 5000/200), but would also be happy
to find something interesting for a Mac II or an MS-DOS machine. I am aware of
HyperCard's potential as a hypertext development system, and I have looked at
something called Black Magic for MS-DOS. I am hoping to find something more
sophisticated than either of these.

Many thanks for any help you may have time to give me!

Subject: Query on "Norwich U.S." Cyrillic font for the Macintosh

I'm trying to find out whether a font called "Norwich U.S.", a cyrillic
font for the Macintosh, is in the public domain or not. Some students here
wanted it added to our public machines, but I can't find the font in any of
the obvious public domain archives, and of course they were oblivious to
the question of copyright.

Please send info directly to me.

Thanks....

Re: Replacing an Ibycus?

We are looking for information pertaining to the PC software for
accessing the Packard Humanities Institute Greek and Latin CD-ROMs. We
are making plans to replace our Ibycus.

Please send any information you have to Roger Macfarlane HRCRTM@BYUVM.bitnet.
