An new global resource for scholars, librarians, writers,
students, and book buyers has just been unveiled on the Internet
by the Association of American University Presses (AAUP). The
AAUP On-line Catalog contains fully searchable bibliographic data
and descriptive text from more than fifty scholarly publishers.
Currently, 65,000-plus titles are represented, and this number is
expected to climb rapidly to more than 100,000 titles from nearly
100 presses.
The entire contents of the on-line catalog can be searched
over the Internet by author, title, keywords, and Library of
Congress subject headlings. Searches can also be confined to
specific subject areas or individual publishers.
Access this resource via the World Wide Web or Gopher at:
