2 Art Documentation, Fall 1995

From the editor: This issue contains the collected papers from the confer

ence session on Canadian periodicals, and there are an amazing number that I, for one, have never seen. It is frustrating, perhaps, for those with limited serials budgets to learn of this large trove of work being produced to the north of a good many of us. And al

though we may not now be in a position to initiate new subscrip tions, it is heartening to see the unique coverage and individual orientation of so many of these publications.

For these papers, and for the research necessary to allow us this expanded perspective, a debt is owed to the Serials Roundtable, sponsors of the session, and to the moderators, Alexandra de Luise and Gis?le Guay. Alexandra de Luise deserves

special acknowledgement for contacting the authors, arranging for the publication of their papers, and then doing the herculean task of transcribing at least one paper from a tape of the session and, with Gis?le Guay, translating to English the paper presented in French. I, for one, am extremely grateful for their efforts.

I also felt some urgency to include the paper by Susan Day, although not a part of the serials session. As Day herself rues, the changing electronic scene makes today's timely tomorrow's

dated. And so many who attended the session at which this paper was presented asked to have it included in Art Documentation that I feel certain this will serve as a useful resource for many and will be consulted often, even as new developments augment her

offerings. And for anyone who has a yearning for more, may I sug

gest FYlFrance, a monthly electronic newsletter, compiled by Jack Kessler, in which France and French are the key words. Each is sue contains updates of MINITEL numbers, and access and de

scriptive information for sources and sites are also given with telnet, gopher, and/or WWW URLs. To access the archives: gopher:// library.berkeley.edu:71/ll/ejrnls/FYIFrance.
