This message is to announce the availability of "AI-Related Dissertations" in electronic form via TRLIST. "AI-Related Dissertations" is a subset of dissertation titles and abstracts taken from the Dissertation Abstracts International (DAI) database. The list is assembled by Susanne Humphrey and myself and is published in the SIGART Newsletter (that list doesn't include the abstracts). The distribution via TRLIST (another network newsgroup devoted to distribution of information about Technical Reports) will include both titles and abstracts. The electronic redistribution is being done with the permission of University Microfilms International, the producers of the DAI database. University Microfilms has also granted permission to extract subsets of the distribution and to make hardcopies, subject to the constraint that their copyright notice be retained and that the list isn't sold. Please do not contact Susanne or myself about getting the dissertations; they may be ordered from University Microfilms at the following address: University Microfilms International Dissertation Copies Post Office Box 1764 Ann Arbor, MI 48106 telephone for U.S. (except Michigan, Hawaii, Alaska): 1-800-521-3042, for Canada: 1-800-268-6090. Price lists and other ordering and shipping information are in the introduction to the published DAI. An alternate source for copies is sometimes provided at the end of the abstract. Requests to be added to TRLIST may be sent to TRLIST-REQUEST%smu@uunet.uu.net (for Internet) or E1AR0002@SMUVM1 (for BITNET), or {texsun!convex!killer}!smu!trlist-request (uucp) Enjoy! -bob
