Illustrée, 1889) 1ère & 2ème vols. réunis, p.52.

Welcome to FYI France (sm)(tm) :

resources, and services, of and about 600+ libraries in France, and publishing and online digital information there and generally in Europe, useful to librarians, Internet and Minitel users, researchers, teachers, students, writers, book-collectors, book-dealers, publishers, and anyone interested in the Internet, libraries, France and Europe.

The resources shown here present a personal selection, not a comprehensive directory. The latter has gone the way of dinosaurs, anyway, in the fast-changing online digital information world. The best which can be hoped for now, amid all the growth and change, is a personal list. But the items presented here will have been screened carefully in advance, at least, and they will be reviewed regularly, and refreshed and updated, and selected for their immediate utility to practitioners of the professions listed above. Best effects will result from using latest-version W3 browsers which both render tables well and support Java^TM, but every effort will be made to present a generic service, accessible to any W3 viewing tool.

Thanks to many friends, French and non-, for both direct and indirect help in what appears here, in this e-publishing / online library reference service experiment. None of this material originates with me, although all of its organization and presentation do. I acknowledge many debts to many other burners of midnight oil, at the institutions shown on these lists and at many W3 sites around the world. I have many more to numerous advisors who have taught me about the Internet and W3, and to numerous FYI France readers who I hope will continue to send me their comments.

This is a paying service, of which the home page and periodically certain files will be made available for free. Anyone using the service in full may obtain a password by sending a check for US $45 for one year, 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. Or payment may be made via PayPal: send me an email first, tho --

Suggestions for improvements will be gratefully received via email to me at: kessler@well.sf.ca.us .

Bonne route,

Jack Kessler
