Dear Sirs, I have prepared a small paper concerning the electronic resources on forestry over the Internet for the proceedings of the EUFORIS'94 meeting at Nancy, last March. I have received approval that I may post the text on the gopher server at METLA. The URL to the file is: "gopher://gopher.metla.fi:70/10/forest/Guides/forestry-resources.txt". It is also available as a hypermedia version at "http://www.metla.fi/pp/JSaa/doc/forestry-resources.html". No e-mail delivery or anonymous ftp are available for the moment. The printed version of the presentation given at EUFORIS'94 comes in the form of a preliminary outline and description for the electronic resources on forestry in the Internet. Thus, the structure of the text is similar to a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) or a Resource Guide. It covers discussion groups, electronic publications, electronic archives and databases as well as network access and navigation tools. Some publicly available information services are listed as examples. A more complete electronic version of this information will appear in September at the Decision Support 2001 conference in Toronto. Updating this kind of information is a never-ending task. It would be almost an impossible task for one person alone to discover all changes and additions to data and information on the net. Thus, all comments, corrections and contributions are most gratefully acknowledged. All additions received by the end of August will be included. Please, send them to the current editor: Jarmo.Saarikko@metla.fi.
