This is much to = be welcomed, though its one thing to have the results of research = available within institutional repositories, and quite another thing to = be able to find such material. Links to items on the Report appear in = various parts of this month's Newsletter.=20 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Dr.P.Vyasamoorthy, Advisor, Virtual Information Centre, ICICI Knowledge Park, Genome Valley, Turkapally, Shameerpet Mandal,=20 RR District, Hyderabad 500078 INDIA Email: vyasamoorthy@icicikp.com Phone - Office: +91(40)23480053 Fax: +91(40)23480007 Phone Residence: = +91(40)27846631
