In fact, material from UNITEX is NOT public domain. It is
copyrighted by UNITEX. However, we have standing verbal agreements
with UNIBASE and other educational systems, that the material may be
used and distributed for educational purposes by educational,
non-profit or NGO organizations but NOT RESOLD unless a prior
legal arrangement and contract is negotiated with UNITEX.
UNITEX pays between $15,000 to $25,000 per year to access and gather
this information in addition to the editing and conversion
costs for network interface compatibility, mail standards, headers,
message formatting, etc and editing for US release and email
distribution & dissemination to several thousand sites around the
globe. We are currently looking for financing/funding from various
institutes, foundations, etc since UNITEX is a non-profit
organization. The UNITEX MAGAZINE will soon be available on
a subscrition basis.
In fact, we would appreciate some HELP from our links and readers
that have been consistently receiving UNITEX. We have been
distributing the UNITEX CONFERENCE for over two years to many, many
systems worldwide!. We will soon be providing a service and an
electronic magazine that is especially suited to school libraries,
political science departments and other academic departments
concerned with international studies, governments, etc. We have
the material categorized into specific *topics*. The material is
up-dated at least twice a week and then sent to the various
subscribers electronically for laser printing off-line in the form
of a magazine. We could supply either a straight ascii magazine format
or a desktop published version in hard copy depending on the demand....
We will send a sample Tabe of Contents via this conference in a few days...
If any UNITEX readers can help direct our attention to
potential subscribers, it would certainly be appreciated!
