BUBL: A national information service for the higher education community.
The following message was sent to the lis-all list on 23rd March. The
reason for using lis-all was so that all members of any lis- list would
get the message once and once only. It's only used for important
announcements. I get fed up with seeing the same message three times and
I expect you do too. It appears that by using lis-all the duplication was
avoided so successfully that most of you didn't get the message at all.
We're in touch with Mailbase to find out why. Anyway, better late than
never, here's the big BUBL news:
________________________________________________________________________
BUBL has moved from UKOLN at Bath University to Strathclyde University Library.
The new BUBL service is now available at:
http://bubl.ac.uk/
Please update any links and bookmarks to BUBL, and pass this message on
to anyone at your site who maintains links.
The new BUBL service has eight main components:
BUBL LINK: A catalogue Internet resources, incorporating the subject tree.
BUBL Journals: Contents, abstracts or full texts of 220 current titles.
BUBL Search: Several options for searching BUBL or the Internet.
BUBL News: Library jobs, events, surveys, updates, other news links.
BUBL UK: Fast but detailed index to institutions in the UK. New.
BUBL Mail: Mailing lists run or archived by BUBL and other mail links.
BUBL Archive: Thousands of files from the old BUBL service.
BUBL Admin: Information about BUBL itself.
All material from the Web and Gopher servers of the old BUBL service has
been integrated and reorganised. Most of the old gopher-based information
is now stored in the BUBL Archive.
The journals service has been greatly enhanced, with all titles
searchable individually, collectively or by subject.
The subject tree is now available via the BUBL LINK service, though some
areas of LINK require further development.
The old BUBL service is no longer being updated. It will continue to be
available until 31st March 1997 but may be withdrawn any time after that date.
Please send any comments on the new service to [log in to unmask]
Thanks
