Would anyone know of any history of economic thought list? Or
newsgroup or conference?
              
I am interested in discussing those who contributed to the 
development of the history of economics - like William Petty,
the Physiocrats, Adam Smith, etc.

Any suggestions where such discussion might take place?
I have tried sci.econ and it doesn't have that kind of 
discussion currently.

Thanks for any help on this.

Subject:      Ireland revisited

Dear friends,

hmmm... as a matter of fact, my wife and I have decided to spend our
summer holiday in Ireland, so I find it quite interesting to hear your
suggestions about the must-sees and must-gos. We'll be staying, BTW,
in the south-west region, too, in a house near Kenmare...

Anyway, I still have a bit of a bad feeling when I see all those letters
on holidays in Ireland distributed through HISTORY, no matter how inter-
esting they may be. I think I would be happier if we could continue
exchanging all this valuable information off-list, since I don't want
to see any new flames wars about "the nature of this list", "endless
chatter" and so on.

Yours,

Subject:      For Jim Emmons at ASU

Jim,

Some time ago you gave me the number of the contact person at Apple for
funding a research project of mine.  Well, I thought I'd update you
on what happened.

They bought it!!!  Apple is going to give me a IIcx, and a copy of
OmniPage OCR software.  All I have to do is get a scanner and I'm
in business.  I've got a letter in to Hewlett Packard now.  I'm asking
them to lend me a scanner for the same period that Apple is lending
me the IIcx.

The basic line I used with both companies is that Macintosh is in danger
of losing out to IBM in the academic research market, especially in
history (since we're all so poor, we can only afford clunker-clones),
and that they need to make a larger committment to high-level
research in the humanities.  It seems to have worked.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Lenny, let me take a stab at explaining.  Non-Eurocentric World History
is the history of the Non-Eurocentric World; that is, the history of
those peoples who have non-European centers.  Who they have at left
tackle is their business.

Or:  Non-Eurocentric World History is not Eurocentric World History.
Eurocentric World History is a bit like Eccentric World History except
it has Euros at center instead of Ecs.

Clear now?

Comments: To: HISTORY@UBVM.cc.buffalo.edu

Although I sympathize with Dennis Paz's reluctance to get
flooded with position papers, I have a different point of view.

He reads more newspapers than I do.  In fact, the last time
a pollster showed up at the door, I had to say, "I'm sorry,
my magazines of opinion haven't arrived yet."  Oh the
embarrassment...  (Actually that's an old _New Yorker_ cartoon,
but appropriate)  All I get is the weekend _Sacramento Bee_
plus daily doses of NPR and PBS, not to mention the dread CNN.
So, to paraphrase Will Rogers, all I know is what I read on
the lists.

Secondly, I do not think we're going to be flooded with
position papers.  After all, who's left?  Clinton, Bush and
Perot.  And maybe "none of the above."  Posting the position
papers may lead to some int'g discussion, maybe not, who knows.
But as long as the opportunity is there, I vote yes.

Subject:      Education at Western U.S. Military Forts

Greetings Everyone,

I am in the process of writing a paper on childrens' education at military
forts in the Western U.S. from 1870 to 1890.  I have researched how life
was on military forts.  There is a lot of information from the military's,
emigrant's, and citizens' view of the social and geographical life on the
frontier.  I have read enough of the published histories and diaries to
have an argument on how parents viewed their situation.  What I lack are
sources from the children's point of view.  Does anyone know of some good
unpublished diaries?

On the educational emphasis I have researched the curriculum, ideals, and
reforms which occured in Eastern cities, but I have yet to find concrete
examples of what it was like at a military fort on the Western frontier.
Next on my research agenda is a look into the guides to the National
Archives to see about standards and regulations at military posts.  What
I have not found here at UCLA are any teachers' manuscript collections.
Again, has anyone uncovered a good source?

With the introduction to overall life and the main emphasis on education,
would anyone have an opinion on if I should add general background on the
economic, military, and emigration activity which occured around the forts?
(or any other topic?)

Open to Suggestions and Opinions,

We have been adding page numbers to the spines of volumes since
1985 and find it extremely helpful for both users and staff.  We do
it now for almost 70% of the 2000 journals we receive, so there is
clearly an increased work load for bindery staff.  Yet we feel the
extra work is worthwhile in assisting users and reducing staff time
spent helping people locate articles on the shelf.

As someone who has been using the collection while working on a
second degree, I have been surprised how helpful it is to have the
page numbers on the spine.  I understand the user perspective
behind the request and feel it's worth the additional time on our
side.

Online Journal of Current Clinical Trials
I have heard conflicting stories concerning the delay of this publication.
The first story I heard was that "technical problems" were holding it up.
Later, I heard that the problem was the lack of submissions. Can anyone
verify the true cause?

If the latter case is the problem, this could be very difficult to solve. I
recently ran across a reference to an earlier "alternative" scientific
publication, the Bulletin of the Geological Society of American. Ten years
ago, this journal started as a microfiche *only* journal. One unexpected
result was that geologists who wanted to see their articles in print did not
send in manuscripts, and the journal folded. Are we having deja vu? Is
technology too far ahead of the necessary sociological changes in academic
status?

              RLG AND ARL TO STUDY INTERLIBRARY LOAN COSTS
        ILL traffic and costs are up; research libraries to take
              hard look at ILL economics in time of change

April 9, 1992 -- The Research Libraries Group (RLG) and the
Association of Research Libraries (ARL) have jointly launched a
project to examine the costs to research libraries of interlibrary
loan services.

Funded in part by a $10,000 grant from the Council on Library
Resources (CLR), the study will gather and analyze data from 65 North
American research libraries on typical costs of ILL transactions.
With this information, libraries will be better able to assess the
economics of their own borrowing and lending practices, to evaluate
alternative methods of providing these services, and to study the
impact of local serials cancellations.

ENORMOUS INCREASE IN ILL ACTIVITIES
The ARL-RLG study will document the cost to libraries of the enormous
increase in ILL activities that has occurred over the past few years.
ARL libraries report a 47% increase in interlibrary borrowing and a
45% rise in interlibrary lending over the past five years.  Recently
published ARL statistics document that over 5.2 million items were
loaned and borrowed by ARL libraries in 1990-91 alone.  RLG reports
that RLIN (Research Libraries Information Network) interlibrary loan
traffic has grown approximately 5% per year for the past several
years.

ARL statistics offer evidence that research libraries are moving to a
demand or access model for providing information to users.  According
to ARL statistics from the years 1985-86 to 1990-91, the number of
traditional users has increased while the information resources
available on campuses have decreased.  One consequence of this trend
has been increased ILL activity.

STUDY RESULTS AVAILABLE SUMMER 1992
The results of the joint study will be published this summer and will
be available from ARL and RLG.  (Data collected in the survey
will be reported in the aggregate only and will not be made available
for comparison on a library-by-library basis.)

Un-moderated is fine with me. It typically takes me 5 min. to scan
incoming mail -- and I don't use a filter.  I suggest that list users
help to educate their colleagues on both ettiquete (sp???) and
procedures. If one sees a mis-directed from a colleague at one's own
institution, advise them on the correct procedure -- don't dump everything
on the  list manager.  Computers are great in giving access -- quick
access -- to us. But it is easy to become lazy as a result. It is
beholden on ALL list users to exercise their brain -- to learn how lists
work, to learn the difference between a list and a list-server, to learn
what commands are sent to each and the correct syntax. It's a small price
to pay for an excellent, no cost service.

Subject:      Poster collections in health sciences libraries
X-To:         medlib-l@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu

We are currently (thru May 29) hosting "To Your Health," a traveling
exhibit of 76 public health posters from NLM's collection, which has been
shown at several other locations around the country in the last two years,
but (so far) only at the U.W. Health Sciences Library on the west coast.  The
response from people who have seen the exhibit has been so enthusiastic
(the most common question being, "How can I get copies of the posters?"!)
that we are considering starting a health-related poster collection at this
library. Does any health sciences library (other than NLM) systematically
collect posters? Any advice on how to get on appropriate mailing lists to
find out what's available?  And if you have collection development policies
for such collections, I'd very much appreciate receiving a copy.  Replies
can be sent directly to me, if you wish, and I'll summarize for the list.
