Subject: bibliographic database software?


Another non-networked colleague of mine here, Stephanie Gould, is
looking for bibliographic management software to satisfy the
requirements of her project. The following is a brief description of
that project. Any suggestions would be most welcome. --W.M.

"A new project at the University of Toronto - York
University Joint Centre for Asia Pacific Studies studying Canada-
Hong Kong Relations, will collect and store materials on all
aspects of the relations (for example, trade, immigration,
adaptation of Hong Kong people to Canada) from many Canadian,
American, British and Hong Kong sources. It will contain
newspaper, magazine, periodical, journal and other scholarly
articles; government publications; books; and perhaps lecture
material and student papers. We will store bibliographic
information, an abstract for each entry and, in some cases, the
full text in a database on an IBM compatible PC. We estimate
30,000+ entries over four years. Some of the particulars of this
bibliographic project include: up to ten people will assist in
compiling and entering this information into the database;
information from it will eventually be made available to the
general public, as well as business, government, academic and
media people on a cost return basis; information will be
retrieved for a multitude of unforseeable purposes."

Please send all replies to Humanist.

Many thanks.

Yours, Willard McCarty

Subject: russian texts

Is there anybody who knows of an electronic version of the following
17-18th century russian texts by S.I. Kotkov:

1. Moskovskaja rec' v nacalnyj period stanovlenija russkogo nacional'nogo
jazyka 1974
2. Moskovskaja delovaja i bytovaja pis'mennost' XVII veka 1968
3. Gramotki XVII - nacala XVIII veka 1969
4. Pamjatniki moskovskoj delovoj pismennosti XVIII veka , 1981

I realize there is not much change.

Subject: Costa Rica

I have just been named to teach in the College of Language Science
at the National University of Costa Rica, in Heredia, starting
August 1st for a full year. I plan to take wife and two daughters
but have never been to Costa Rica. If any of our members have ever
living experience in Costa Rica, I would be truly grateful for any
information they could give on cost of living, travel to Costa Rica,
school systems for American teenagers, anything at all. Thanks

Professor Donald Price from Amherst College is looking for an e-text
