Subject: ISBNs

Do any members know of any online resource for obtaining the ISBNs
of books from various publishers, when author/title are known?

I wonder whether there is an online "Books in Print" type resource?

Thanks very much and best wishes

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON COMPUTER-
AIDED PROJECTS IN GERMAN STUDIES

I am preparing a report on computer-aided projects in German
Studies since 1985, with particular emphasis on the last 5 years.
This report will include both teaching and research applications
in various areas of German language, literature and culture from
the early periods to the present.

If you are working on such a project, or if you know of others
working on computer-aided German Studies proje
cts, I would
appreciate your sending me some information either via e-mail or
fax. This may be as brief or detailed as you wish, but it would
be helpful if some or all of the following points are included:

(1) Title and brief description of the project.
(2) When did you begin (or do you plan to begin) the project
and when do you expect it may be completed?
(3) List of texts or other materials used (e.g. computer-
related video and audio), plus any encoding

information you consider relevant.
(4) Commercial software, databases and hardware used for
your project.
(5) Non-commercial programs or databases used.
(6) Any recent or planned publications based on the project.
Are they or will they be available via e-mail or from a
Website?

Thank you for your help, and please forward this to anyone (not
on H-CLC or Humanist) working on computer-aided German Studies
projects.

Subject: Database for French texts + Windows

Last year, thanks to HUMANIST, we read a lot about note taking. Some of
you recommended NOTEBUILDER.
Could you share your experience with this free form data base? How does
it handle French characters? Is there a version compatible with Windows?
Is the report format flexible? Is it really compatible with Wordperfect?

Thank you very much

Subject: security and daily practice with e-mail

I have been asked to comment on the possible use of e-mail to discuss
private or sensitive matters, such as draft questions for final examinations
in university. How risky is this in practice? Any wisdom would be appreciated.
