I was interested in this report, details of which Jeff forwarded. Unfortunately I am now the victim of social exclusion. The report costs 40 pounds, which I do not feel is a nominal sum. I cannot afford it, and there is no copy at the British Library. The organisation has refused to send a free copy or reduce the price. If the results of the research are worth reading (and it appears to be one of the few things directly relevant to my research about transport imagery), then the dissemination of the information needs to be carefully thought out. The othe rorganisation which is producing things directly relevant is Lex - they charge 345 pounds for each of their things. As far as I am concerned, the research might have been done but it has not been disseminated. What do others think? I doubt if my university library will buy it, and I do not want to ask East Yorkshire Libraries to buy it, as it is relatvely specialised for them. ---------- >From: "jeff turner" <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] >Subject: Women & Transport research - the whole journey concept >Date: Fri, Jul 30, 1999, 10:03 > > Apologies for cross-posting > > Dear Listmembers > > You may be interested to know of a report on Women & Transport in the > North-East of England just published by Fair Play North East entitled > 'The Whole Journey Concept Report'.
