NEW FEATURES ON THE NCRVE WEBSITE
Simpler, More Flexible Searching
A new, less cluttered search form has been created for searching the
NCRVE products catalog (the titles and abstracts of all NCRVE publi-
cations): <http://ncrve.berkeley.edu/abstracts/QuickFind.html>. This
form is now the default when you follow the link "Search NCRVE Product
Abstracts" on the NCRVE home page. You can still access the more
complete form at <http://ncrve.berkeley.edu/ProdSearch.html>.
Both of these search forms now include checkboxes that allow you to
restrict your search to those items that have full-text or executive
summaries available online.

VOCNET AND DISSMN8
VOCNET, NCRVE's listserv discussion list for all voc ed topics, currently
has about 1,500 subscribers, down 2% from 1 December. Approximately 190 items
were posted in December-January.
DISSMN8, NCRVE's listserv discussion list for educational dissemination-
related topics, now boasts 192 subscribers, up 3% from 1 December.
Both VOCNET and DISSMN8 will be moving to a new server early in February
1999; details have yet to be worked out. The change should cause no
disruption in these services. Subscribers will receive news as the
schedule for the move is finalized.
