Subject: PYNCHON LIST
I have received great response for the PYNCHON list.
Unfortunately some of the messages seem to have been forwarded
by mailers, so I don't have the potential member's address.
In other cases, I haven't been given a name. The way I had
to put this list together, I need a name or even pseudonym if
one prefers.
So those that sent a request to join and didn't get joined,
please send me another request with your name and address
explicitly stated in the message. e.g..
Sign me up for PYNCHON Jane Doe Jdoe@sumwhere.bitnet
Jody USERDOG1@SFU.BITNET or USERDOG1@CC.SFU.CA
List address: PYNCHON@SFU.BITNET or PYNCHON@CC.SFU.CA

Subject: Common Knowledge Seeks Public Domain Information
Common Knowledge is a nonprofit organization chartered as a public
domain utility. Common Knowledge believes that knowledge should
be accessible to all people, and has as its goal the building of
publicly owned mechanisms to access information. Its first
product, the Universal Index Version 1.0, consists of a Library
of Congress catalog of English-language works published from 1984
through 1988 (approx. 432,000 records, 625 MB, and 10 minutes of
tutorial sound), available to libraries at nominal cost. The
Universal Index will run on all BiblioFile hardware with 640K.
Common Knowledge would like to produce another CD ROM with
self-contained DOS and Mac search software, possibly for free
distribution at an ALA conference.
If you know of *public domain* information in electronic form (for
example, bibliographic or other types of databases, lists of
reference questions answered, specialized subject bibliographies,
etc.) that is available for such a project, please contact me
directly by any of the means below (please do not respond to
the list). Thanks!
