================= HES POSTING ================= I stumbled upon the following Web-site that might be of interest to some of you: http://www.carl.org/uncover/ It is the Web-site of UnCover, an online periodical article delivery service and a current awareness alerting service. UnCover indexes nearly 17,000 English language periodicals in its database and is still growing. Over seven million articles are available through a simple online order system. Five thousand citations are added daily. Articles appear in UnCover at the same time the periodical issue is delivered to your library or local newsstand, which makes UnCover the most up-to-date index anywhere. The UnCover Reveal Alert service delivers tables of contents from the latest periodical issues directly to your e-mail box and your stored search strategies are automatically run each week against new articles added to the database, and the results e-mailed. UnCover may be used for up-to-the-minute information, delivered to you quickly. Searching the UnCover database is absolutely FREE! You only pay for the articles that you order. Articles cost US $8.50, plus copyright royalty fee. UnCover is available over the Internet by telnetting to database.carl.org. It is also offered through BH Blackwell's CONNECT Service. UnCover can be dialed directly via modem at (303) 756-3600. The World Wide Web address is http://www.carl.org/uncover. UnCover works with all standard communications software, on any PC or Macintosh. I couldn't figure out how far back it goes, so it might not be as useful for historians of economics. For a similar service focused on economics, check out: http://www.elsevier.nl/homepage/sae/ This is the Web-site of Elsevier Science, whose publishing programme consists of more than one hundred international, scientific journals covering a wide range of sub-fields. Many highly cited, renowned journals are on this list. It also has important Book Series, among which 3 influential Handbooks Series. Elsevier Science also offers Contents Alert Economics, an e-mail service alerting readers to published articles in 34 economic journals published by Elsevier/North-Holland. In weekly instalments, it provides full titles, authors with their affiliations, keywords, JEL classifications, volume, issue and page numbers for easy retrieval or the full article. Started early in 1994, the service now has a total of 4,200 subscribers. Check out the Web-site for subscription information. Again, this might not be as useful for historians of economics, but I thought some of you might benefit from this information anayway. I believe the economics working paper archive has already been mentioned on this list. It can be found at: http://econwpa.wustl.edu/wpawelcome.html --Esther-Mirjam Sent, HES editor ___________________________________________________ Department of Economics 426 Decio Hall University of Notre Dame (219)631-6979 (O) Notre Dame, IN 46556 (219)631-8809 (F) http://www.nd.edu:80/~esent [log in to unmask] ___________________________________________________ ============ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ============ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
