Versions of these files have appeared online regularly, since 1992, as a feature of the FYI France enewsletter, ISSN 1071-5916, which is distributed for free via email every month except August. Enewsletter subscriptions may be obtained via email request to: kessler@well.sf.ca.us . The list contains a selection only: additional online digital information resources develop in France every week, on the Minitel and the Internet -- one can be sure only that there are more, not fewer, than what follows online in France now.
Here this file is one of a number made available -- hopefully attractively, all in one place, and relevant to libraries and online digital information work in France and Europe -- as part of FYI France (sm)(tm), an online service to which anyone can subscribe by postal mailing a check for US $45, payable to Jack Kessler, to PO Box 460668, San Francisco, California, USA 94146 (site licenses also are available): please write your email address on the front of your check. Please email suggestions for improvements to me at kessler@well.sf.ca.us .
It is my intention here eventually to install an archive of the FYI France electronic newsletter. I know myself of over 100 online sites for this in existence online now. I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the various people who have established and are maintaining these sites. I hope they will continue. The Nets and the Web are too full of change and uncertainties, yet, to allow anyone to claim best evidence or variorum edition or even easiest connection for anything.
My own archive version here will be intended not to replace the others but only to add a variant. I intend to experiment, as I do throughout this FYI France (sm)(tm) Online Service, with various approaches to W3 design, indexing, abstracting, multilingual access, and other things. I cannot guarantee that my own experiments will yield the most felicitous results for users. So please let me refer you to at least the following existing and well - maintained FYI France enewsletter archive sites, which will remain of great value to users no matter what I undertake here:
or, (search on the following for "FYIFrance" -- not "FYI France")
both of which continue to be excellent resources for the archive.
