Guten Morgen,
Ich moechte mich bei allen Medibiblern fuer zwei Dinge entschuldigen:
Erstens, dass ich kuerzlich 5x dieselbe Mail an Sie verschickt hatte.
Sowas muss nicht sein, aber mein Mailprogramm hatte mich leider
ausgetrickst - sorry! Zweitens die ueberaus laestigen (anonymen)
Werbemails - wie die heutige. Aufgrund der beschraenkten technischen
Moeglichkeiten unseres RZs kann ich das leider nicht verhindern. Wir
arbeiten aber daran, in Zukunft die Mails auf eingeschriebene
Teilnehmer der Liste (also Sie) beschraenken zu koennen.
Nun die gute Nachricht. Unser Mitglied RICHARD MCDONOUGH-GLENN
<rmcdonou@OZEMAIL.COM.AU> schrieb in MEDLIB-L:
There is a german-speaking medical librarians' Listserv called MEDIBIB-L
which provides a very useful digest of MEDLIB-L. Even if you don't
speak german and can't understand Oliver Obst's (the moderator)
foreword, it is still useful to receive his digest. His email is

The Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison has opened Primate Info Net (PIN) on the Web. The site
includes many primate research resources, including AskPrimate, an e-mail
based reference service, information about its Primate Talk mailing list
along with a directory of members, listings of Primate Organizations and
Programs, and information resources in Primatology. There are also
connections to other related sites. The site is an enhancement to the
