[UPS] Documents in Information Science

[Thomas Krichel]

  (Apologies to those who receive this more than once)
 
  We are pleased to announce DoIS (Documents in Information
  Science). DoIS is a bibliographic database of articles and
  conference proceedings published in electronic format in the
  area of Library and Information Science. DoIS is based in the
  RePEc (http://www.repec.org) open library model that has a large
  following in the Economics discipline. In that model, publishers
  of documents provide data about their documents on public access servers.
  These data are available for the use in digital libraries.  RePEc
  has collected data about 26,000 electronic papers through 140
  contributing archives. It is currently the largest distributed
  library of research papers in the world.
 
  DoIS is not quite as large yet :-) At the moment DoIS indexes
  almost 1,000 documents in electronic format from the following  
  publications:
 
  Ariadne
  Boletin de RedIris
  Bulletin des Bibliotheques de France
  CLIR Reports
  Cuadernos de Documentacion Multimedia
  D-Lib Magazine
  Journal of Electronic Publishing
 
        DoIS is available free of charge at the url:

  Cheers,
