No! Not that big. Just titles and (hopefully) abstracts on an informal
basis. This service is (or could be) made available via several WWW
homepages, each for a single journal. However, then I can go down to the
library. It takes time to download the WWW pages from several sources when
the Internet is heavily loaded. The reason why I suggest the Paleonet
listserver to distribute this information is: I do not have to remember, I
get it automatically. Ideally publishers should regard this as
advertisement appreciated by their current and future readers and send
their journal contents directly. I do not want to load a mediator with this
work. Direct information from the publishers would be faster indeed and,
therefore, more appreciated.
