- ----------------------------Original message----------------------------
- At the University of Hawaii we are creating journal tables of contents
- databases using the CARL system. One that already exists is the
- Hawaiian/Pacific UnCover Database available as menu item #44. We have also
- begun a tables of contents database for journals from and about Asia. The
- main criteria is that it have an English language table of contents. It may
- also have one in the vernacular language and the articles may be entirely in
- the vernacular.
-
- The Pacific and Asia are our two major areas of focus and there has been such
- a void of indexes available in those areas. Gary Macmillian, Associate
- University Librarian for our technical services (Processing Operations and
- Automation) initiated and coordinates the inputting for the two databbases.
- The Asia titles will eventually merge into the CARL UnCover database that
- originates out of Denver. The Hawaiian/Pacific database will remain a unique
- database available only via UH.
