> It's been suggested by the European Information Association committee
> that it might be useful for Eurotalk members to be sent "highlights"
> from the EIA's newsletter, EIA Update on a regular basis.  So, I
> thought
> I'd start by attaching the section on new publications and web sites
> from the last edition.  I hope you find this of interest - both EIA
> members and, more particularly, non members alike.
> 
> I'd be interested to have your comments - is this a good idea or not?
> If you do reply, perhaps you could reply to the list so we can all see

> CORDIS has started developing information services to provide details
> of
> research and innovation activities specific to each member state.
> These
> new services are built on the successful CORDIS Council Presidency RTD
> Information Services. The member state services will provide a
> permanent
> source of information on country-specific activities in the context of
> EU research and innovation rather than running for six months as the
> other Presidency services have done.  The first member state service
> to
> be launched is that for the United Kingdom with further launches due
> in
> the next few months.
> 
> The UK Member State Service is on CORDIS at:
> http://www.cordis.lu/united_kingdom/home.html
> The UK service provides details of UK research and innovation policies
> and on the UK's involvement in EU research.  In particular it will
> provide information on the Fifth Framework Programme and opportunities
> available within it. 
> 
> European Commission Libraries site
> Consists of web pages for the European Commission's Central Library,
> ECLAS (the Commission libraries' union catalogue databases) and
> EUROLIB.
> EUROLIB has information about the libraries of the Institutions of the
> European Community. While EUROLIB member libraries have been created
> to
> serve their own institutions, many also offer access to external
> researchers.  There are plans to develop this new structured site so
> that it will become an essential tool for librarians and researchers
> who
> handle European documentation.

> Transport in figures
> This site aims to provide transport statistics for the EU Member
> States
> in a user-friendly way.  Most of the data cover the period 1970-1996
> and
> are based mainly on Eurostat statistics with the addition of some data
> from other international organisations, national statistical
> institutes,
> special studies and from estimates where no data were available.
