With this usage, hiding the mount point is the least of your problems.
Note that any user can now type "mount" with no arguments and see
the password that you used to mount the minidisk.

That's the major reason (imho ;-0) for the "mountpw" command that
IBM ships along with FAL .. write some code to wrap around your "mount"
command to do the mount by first calling "mountpw" with the password,
followed by "mount", without the password.

Hello everyone:

Here is the information on the DPMA that several of you asked for.  This
information is from David Lowe, who is one of the current members.  It is as
follows:

>The address of the Data Processing Management Association is Post Office Box
>978, Park Ridge, IL 60068-0978.  Just write to them and ask for a membership
>application, and they will send you one pretty quickly.

>The current annual fee is $140 ($80 - association, $5 - regional, and $5 -
>local chapter) plus additional SIG's (Special Interest Group) dues.  The
>fees for SIG's range from $10 to $25, depending on the SIG topic.  There are
>about a dozen of SIG's to choose from.

>My local chapter is in Los Angeles.  I receive a monthly newsletter from my
>local chapter.  The Los Angeles chapter sponsors a monthly dinner meeting
>which I attend regularly.  The fun things about joining a professional society
>and becoming actively involved, I think, are:

>1. A professional society offers opportunities for networking.  This is
>perhaps the biggest reason why I joined DPMA.  I believe the networking
>opportunities help a person to establish a professional reputation which
>eventually can lead to career advancement.

>2. I have gotten to know some people who are experts in their own technical
>specialities.  They became instant mentors and/or consultants you can turn to
>when you have technical questions or problems.

>3. Overall, I think joining a professional organization is an inexpensive way
>to keep up technically current and to learn new skills.

Subject:      Electronic Business Information Center

The BUSLIB network has an impressive brain-trust and I'm hoping it
can be tapped for a project that is going to be challenging and fun.

UNLV's College of Business is designing a 1,300 Sq ft. Business
Information Center to serve graduate students and faculty. The Center
will be fully electronic--essentially no paper resources. The Center
hopes to open with a modest ten terminals. The question is, "With various
CD-ROM products, flat-fee subscription services, pay-per-transaction
services (eg. Dialog) and resources through internet, what products
or services would you select for the Center?"

Note: The main UNLV Library already has ABI/INFORM, Business and Company
Profiles, Disclosure, Investext, PAIS and Psych Lit on CD-ROM.
The College of Business has ABI/INFORM with the full-text CD
collection, and Compustat. There are 100+ faculty in the College of
Business. There is not a Ph.d. program, nor is one planned.  Perhaps
the strongest department in terms of publishing is Finance.

Given this scenario, what woouuld youuu dooo????

I hope BUSLIB'ers will have fun with this. Please respond to the net
or to me directly.

Barbara:
	I sometimes assist our accounting faculty with research
requests and I haven't heard the phrase "events accounting."
However, accounting researchers may be interested in event-based
research on accounting topics.  For example, a researcher is
exploring the relationship between CEO secession and stock prices.
They need to determine when these "events" have occurred so they
can make observations about their impact on stock prices.  One
usually would use a database such as TEXT on Dow Jones for this
event research.
	You might want to check with your patron.  Perhaps they are
interested in this type of event-based accounting research.

Subject:      Subcommittee on Revision of 350-354 Public Administration, Dewey

 al Classification

 I have been asked to serve as the BRASS liaison to the SAC Subcommittee on
 Revised 350-354 of the LA Dewey Decimal Classification Committee. My job, as
 the resident non-cataloger, is to look at the proposed changes in the public
 administration subject area and ask questions about how these changes will
 affect libraries in both public service and technical service areas.

 The revisions substantially change both the philosophy and many of the class
 numbers previously used by Dewey libraries in public administration. The basic
 issue seems to be a change in the order by which public administration
 materials are classed from a jurisdictional and place orientation to a topic
 orientation. Public administration materials are presently classed by
 jurisdiction and then by topic. The new class would place the topic first --
 for example, natural resources -- and then the place -- for example, Canada.
 The old order would have been Canada -- Natural Resources. Part of the
 rationale for change is that the public administration class numbers have
 always violated the traditional Dewey order: topic -- jurisdiction -- place --
 format. Of course there are other issues, including the number of subtopics
 listed for headings, the language in which topics are couched, the
 international implications of terms used, literary warrant, the clarity of
 documentation and others.

 What I am charged to ask you, the members of BRASS, is what kind of problems
 would you see in changes like these to public administration? The
 documentation is lengthy, but I will be happy to copy and send it to anyone who
 needs further detail. I am interested in how these changes would affect
 reference service, how much re-cataloging you would have to do, whether you
 think the changes will make access to the material easier -- any reaction you
 have.

 Please reply to me. I would be happy to summarize for the list.

Subject: e.b.b. (Economic Bulletin Board)

Several persons wrote to me late this afternoon requesting additional
information on how to connect to the e.b.b.  Within the last week I have
given several presentations on how to download files from this source.  For
those of you who want or need this information, what follows is a summary
of my notes.

I have two mainframe computer accounts: a UNIX (Rodan) and an IBM (CMS)
account.  I find it more convenient to use my Rodan account for telnet
purposes and CMS for my FTP and downloading work.  If you do not have a
Rodan account, you can still do the FTP and download work but not telnetting
to the e.b.b. via CMS.

Rodan:

type "telnet una.hh.lib.umich.edu" without the quotes
at login, type "gopher" without the quotes
select "4.  Social Science Data"
select "2. Economic Bulletin Board"
some commands to use:
   ">" goes to next screen
   "<" goes to previous screen
   "u" goes up
   "q" quits
   "="
move to subject of interest, type "=" and note subdirectory where file
is kept and signoff.

CMS

at ready message, type "FTP una.hh.lib.umich.edu" without quotes
at "user", type "anonymous"
at "password", type your userid.  For example, mine is LIBCFB@SUVM
at "command" type "dir" for list of subdirectories
type "cd ebb"
type "dir"
type "cd foreign"
type "dir"
select two-part name separated by period
type "get xxx.xxx" i.e. whatever file you want.
when transfer is complete, choose another or "quit"

As in DOS it is possible to change to a subdirectory in one step:
e.g. cd /ebb/foreign rather than in the two steps above.

One additional bit of information: The FTP process defaults to ASCII.
This is fine for text and doc files;  files which have an extension of
com, exe, zip, gif, etc. must be downloaded as a binary file.  If you want
to download a file called calculat.com, type "binary" and then type "get
calculat.com".

I assume that you can all get help at your own institutions on how to
download from the mainframe to your p.c.

I hope this helps those who want to explore this fantastic file of information.

Event accounting is a small area in accounting that is trying to redo
accounting on what you might call workflow orientation (as opposed to
single transactions). It was worth about, say, 6 articles in the Accounting
Review starting in the late sixties and continuing for about 15 years.
More recently, William McCarthy at Michigan State has written on this topic.
I cited a few of those articles in my dissertation, which I don't have in

-isbn, lending libraries, etc, would be useful.
Please send replies directly to me.
Thanks.

Subject:      Help needed on international finance question

    I have been asked for two pieces of information concerning
    international finance and so far I've struck out on finding the
    answers.  Does anyone know where I might find the answers to:

    1.  What was the percent of international finance handled by the
    British banks 30 years ago?  What is it today?

    2.  What was the value of the market share held by the British
    banks 30 years ago in the above area?  What is it today?

    I'll publish a summary of the answers I get.

    Thanks in advance!

I personally am a Lexis/Nexis junkie and would find this service
indespensible in setting up any electronic library for business
students.  The information you get for the educational cost  is
more than makes up for the cost ($150 per month) and it would be a nice
compliment to the other electronic sources you have.  I would also
look at RIA on cd-rom.  This is a fairly new product and  is the electronic
version of their tax loose-leaf.  A couple of our faculty here are
very interested in it and it may be a possible purchase this year.  Currently,
there is no extra cost to have it on a LAN and if you continue to subscribe
to the print version you can get a substantial discount on the cd-rom
version.  (BTW, RIA is available on L/N)

Hope this helps,
