PROVIDING YOU WITH INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN PUT TO WORK...
Following feedback from our readers, the SIRI (Service integre de
ressources d'information/Integrated Service for Information
Resources) team at the Canadian Workplace Automation Research
Centre (CWARC) is in the process of revising its products, services
and policies.

For anyone in an interdisciplinary field wanting to remain fully
up-to-date, scanning multiple journals on a regular basis is
critical.  It is, however, a time-consuming activity.  Moreover,
one may not necessarily have access to all the relevant periodicals
dealing with the subject being researched.  The objective of the
SIRI team, therefore, is to offer through FLASH INFORMATION and a
new additional product (which is yet to be named), a selective
dissemination of information specifically geared towards the
information needs of researchers and management within the fields
of information management and information technologies.   These
electronic publications will keep our readers up-to-date by
providing details of relevant newly published information scanned
from some 300 journals and news bulletins from our collection on a
weekly basis.

OUR NEW FORMAT....
The SIRI team is working toward improving the contents, format and
access of FLASH INFORMATION.  Future issues of FLASH INFORMATION,
our bibliographic issue of articles on information technologies and
industry news, for example, will be more comprehensive and entries
will be grouped under general subject headings.  Topics identified
reflect the Centre's main research interests which include language
technology, content engineering, multimedia, human-computer
interaction issues, and learning technologies.  An indexed listing
of the journals scanned will be provided upon request.

OUR NEW PRODUCT....
Whereas FLASH INFORMATION is a list of titles of articles, our new
product will consist of abstracts of articles.  This publication
will provide researchers and management with news on strategic
alliances within the industry and the Canadian government, industry
news and issues, market and R & D trends, and recent developments
in information/computer/communications related fields.  These
abstracts will be distributed jointly with FLASH INFORMATION.

IF YOU WANT A LIST OF SUBJECT HEADINGS, AN EXAMPLE OF FLASH
INFORMATION IN ITS NEW FORMAT AND SAMPLE ENTRIES OF OUR NEW
PRODUCT, PLEASE CONTACT US AT SIRI@AIGLE.CCRIT.DOC.CA

TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN PUT TO WORK....
Up to now FLASH INFORMATION has been made available free of charge.
We will continue sending you FLASH INFORMATION together with our
new publication free until September.  In order to provide you with
the new products and services, however, a minimal subscription fee
may be charged beginning September in order to recover some of the
production costs.
