  This is an informative message about the guide
  "Film and Video Resources on the Internet."
  ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

This message is being cross-posted to several listservs and news groups.
Please excuse any duplication you may encounter.

I would like to announce the completion of v. 2.0 of the ASCII text
version of "Film and Video Resources on the Internet."  In addition to
updating the guide, we have been able to create a new gopher and HTML
document which are based on the guide.  All three are now available on the
Internet. (Please note that it may take us a few weeks to update the
information contained in the gopher and HTML document to reflect the v.
2.0 update.)

Contained in this message you will find:

  * access information for all three versions of the guide
  * information about the most recent revisions

Thanks for your interest, and as always, Kristen and I are eagerly
awaiting your feedback about the guide.  We love to hear about new
resources to include, and we want to make sure our information is as
accurate as possible.  Our new e-mail address for your input and requests
is filmguide@umich.edu.  All e-mail correspondence should be directed to
this address.

Thanks and enjoy!

Kristen Garlock & Lisa Wood

GUIDE UPDATE INFORMATION
~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

*  "Film and Video Resources on the Internet" v. 2.0 now contains access
   and descriptive information for eighty-one resources.  Approximately 26 of
   these resources have been added since the last update in February, and
   one resource was removed due to its demise (FILM-L).

*  As we were working on the update, we found that some of the new
   resources did not fit into our existing organizational structure for the
   guide, so we decided to re-organize to fit the ever-changing character of
   the Internet.  The new Table of Contents is shown below, with a + to
   indicate a new category of resource.

*  Institutional affiliations have been added when we deemed it helpful in
   indicating the source of the resource.

*  The section entitled "Databases" has been removed.  All resources which
   were included in that category have been moved to other sections which
   better indicate their contents.  For instance, CARDIFF'S MOVIE DATABASE
   BROWSER was moved from "Databases" to "Filmographies/Bibliographies,"  a
   category which is much more indicative of the contents of the resource.

*  Our philosophy is that each resource included in the guide should be
   available free of charge.  However, included in version 2.0 of the guide
   is a new section entitled "commercial resources."  These are resources
   which do involve cost in the form of video and laser disc retail. However,
   we decided to include them because browsing each resource is free, these
   resources reflect the evolving facet of business on the Internet, and they
   could be potentially useful resources to consumers and selectors. We
   should point out that we have not purchased anything from these retailers
   and thus cannot offer any comments regarding the quality of service or
   product.
