Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
----------------------------Original message---------------------------- The Frick Art Reference Library has also been frustrated by this. We have not yet purchased the retrospective file because we access Art Abstracts through FirstSearch. We have contacted Wilson about this, but I'm sure a collective effort would carry more weight. We feel the same way as Harvard, i.e., we would very much like to purchase and offer this file to our patrons, but feel that two modes of access to what should be the same file would be confusing and unwieldy. Even if it were to remain a separate file, we would still like to see it offered as a FirstSearch database. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Deborah Kempe Chief, Collections Management & Access The Frick Art Reference Library 10 East 71st Street, New York, NY 10021-4967 Tel: (212) 547-0658 Fax: (212) 879-2091 Email: [log in to unmask] *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* > -----Original Message----- > From: Amanda Bowen [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Monday, January 25, 1999 6:42 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Art Index Retrospective > > ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- > Dear ARLIS colleagues: > Although the long-awaited retrospective file of Art Index is beginning to > be made available, we have some reservations with the way it is being > offered.
