From: Ed Fox <fox.vpi@Rand-Relay>
Please send details of how to obtain any machine readable documents such
as books, reference volumes, encyclopedias, dictionaries, journals, etc.
These would be utilized for experiments in information retrieval. This
is not aimed at large bibliographic databases but rather at finding
a few medium to long items that exist both in book form and full text
computer tape versions (readable under UNIX or VMS).
Information on existing or planned projects for retrieval of passages
(e.g., paragraphs or pages) from books, encyclopedias, electronic mail
digests, etc. would also be helpful.
I look forward to your reply. Thanks in advance, Ed Fox.
