I have been trying to get the Board of Directors of the
Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA) to support taking
the Cumulative Index to EDRA Proceedings and making it available
in electronic form.  In the most minimal incarnation this might
mean supplying the data on diskettes in ASII or DB3 format so that
people could load it into their own database programs.

Even in this minimal form the EDRA Board is reluctant to proceed,
and wants evidence of a 'market demand.'  That is, is their anyone
out their who wants and would use this thing if it existed?  Would
you be willing to pay for it?  How much? [the hard bound volume
costs about $40.00]

For those of you unfamiliar with EDRA, it is the largest
international organization of its kind, dealing with  issues of
human-environment interaction. Environmental design, architecture
(interior, exterior, landscape), environmental assessment,
environmental quality are some of its major concerns.  The Index
would contain citations (titles, authors, keywords, etc.) for each
article and abstract in every EDRA conference (there have been
23).

Please respond to the list or me directly (RWENER@POLYVM). I need
to be able to go to them and say "X number of people want this".

Thanks,

Rich Wener
