 RARE Technical Report 1: User Support and Information Services in
 Europe - a status report has been updated and is now available.
 It is 75 pages long.

 Thanks to all the individual contributors, to Barabra Thomas
 (NISP/Mailbase) for helping me to collate and edit and proof read the
 document and to Josefien Bersee who has performed a herculean task in
 formatting it to provide a very attractive printed version of it.

 This printed version will be available at the Joint European
 Conference in May and thereafter from the RARE Secretariat
 (raresec@localhost).  Meanwhile a postscript version is available from
 the RARE Document Server.

 Whilst every effort has been made to contact the "correct" person for
 each network, we are anxious to ensure that this has in fact happened
 and that we have covered all national academic and research networks
 within each country.  In addition, there are countries that have not
 so far provided information for the report.  We would be grateful if
 you could look at your country's section of the report and let us know
 if we have failed to contact the correct person(s).  Please note that
 any corrections to the actual information about your country's network
 should be made to the country contact, with a copy to the report editor.
