I have been asked to serve on an Ohio State Board of Regents advisory
group that will project the perfect scholar's work station: the
computer-linked, communication center, desk-top publisher,
library-searching, all-purpose professor's dream electronic office.
Since this is a project growing out of what is also a projected linking
up of all state libraries, the emphasis will be on scholarly research
via libraries. In the past, Humanist has discussed the design of
centers for computing in the humanities, and has discussed incidentally
the scholar's work station, but may I ask for a design for the perfect
scholarly electronic office, with instant access to the library? One
advantage of such networked offices, as explained to me by a director of
our library, would be automated library functions such as notification
to the scholar of all books coming through Acquisitions within his or
her stated fields. One service might be the delivery of books to the
scholar (really to keep office space in the library free for library
use); another service might be semi-automatic copying of journals at the
scholar's request, from the holdings of any library in the state (or any
library linked with the Ohio OLIS system). Any suggestions either for
equipment, communication links, services? Roy Flannagan

Does anyone have a program that will enlarge the almost invisible cursor on
the Toshiba laptop, specifically the T-1200 with a very hard disk?

I would very much appreciate it if fellow HUMANISTS at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem could send me the e-address for Gabrielle
Schorr (Department of French). If she has none, could someone pass
on a brief message to her? Many thanks.
