Lou, thanks for your message. I am aware of (and admire) University of
Michigan's commendable initiative in archiving all the available
electronic journals. I had planned to do a posting describing gopher
and archie capabilities and will certainly mention the Michigan archive
in it.

About searchability: We have tried to make our file-naming system
maximally informative, as you may know, so a file-name search can be
done using either the usual journal/year/volume number or author-name
or key-word. I hope other electronic journals will follow (or improve
upon) our example so we can develop a useful standard. Gopher will
already retrieve PSYCOLOQUY articles in its Princeton (home) archive
when cued by merely the keyword, say, "consciousness" (see below) or
the authorname, say, "bridgeman." There's no reason it shouldn't
retrieve the Michigan holdings the same way.

(The author of the sample item I used for the demo below, Bruce
Bridgeman, who also happens to be a member of PSYCOLOQUY's Editorial
Board, can rightly be gratified by the unparalleled accessibility this
gives to the work he took the risk of publishing electronically rather
than in paper, in this new medium's formative years. A bonus is the relative
visibility, when so few papers have yet appeared in an electronic
journal on any given topic. His only challenge is a paper on
consciousness by David Chalmers of Indiana University, an anonymous one
at UCSD, and one by your humble servant...)

In addition, PSYCOLOQUY's Assistant Editor, Malcolm Bauer, is working on a
user-friendly, ordinary-English (i.e., non-Boolean) full text searching
capability using Latent Semantic Indexing, an AI tool developed and
kindly leased to us for non-profit use by Bellcore. You may want to
contact Malcolm ([e-mail]) and Tom Landauer
at Bellcore ([e-mail]) about implementing LSI in
your archive -- the first centralized electronic journal archive in the
world!

Best wishes,

Stevan

PS Note that each Princeton item is retrieved twice. That is because it
is mirrored in two directories. One at the "flat" root level, where
everything appears, and another in the Psycoloquy/year-volume directory.
The former is for ordinary (non-gopher non-archie) ftp searches with
only "ls" capability. The redundancy will eventually be eliminated.
