If they have not already heard of it, list-members may be interested to know about Project OACIS (Online Access to Consolidated Information on Serials). The project is based at Yale University Library, will last three years and is supported by substantial funding. To quote from the news release "the project will create a publicly and freely accessible, continuously updated listing of Middle East journals and serials, including those available in print, microform and online...Project OACIS is international in scope. While initial titles reports [and holdings information] will be contributed by US partner libraries, the database will expand to include titles and holdings of targeted partner institutions in Europe and the Middle East..." More information is available at: http://www.library.yale.edu/oacis/ A meaty topic for MELCOM International in Beirut perhaps?
