Subject: 18C, Bitnet report
To those of you who have expressed an intesest in the progress of
Bitnet and eighteenth century studies, I have a report to make
about the New Orleans conference of ASECS. It is, in fact, a non-
report in the sense that not much "active" interest was expressed,
although there seemed to be plenty of passive interest. A demonstration
to be conducted by the Tulane University computer center was
cancelled because only six participants appeared.
However, Bitnet was called to the attention of the membership in
a number of ways. I placed notices everywhere I could find a place
and Bitnet and electronic journals were strongly recommended at a
session on journal publishing. If nothing else, Bitnet got some
good press.
I believe that a session on electronic journals is now called for
at a future ASECS meeting. I have requested a session at the next
annual meeting, again to demonstrate Bitnet.
Regards to all,
