On behalf of the Executive Board I am pleased to annouce an information server of the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO). Location: The URL is: gopher://iufro.boku.ac.at/ Target group: This server is designed primarily for IUFRO officeholders and researchers of IUFRO member organizations to facilitate, enhance and improve their communication and information. Others are, of course, also welcome to make use of this service. Contents of the Server: Presently you will find a list of IUFRO Working Units and their Officeholders, Officerholders' addresses and telecom numbers, addresses of IUFRO members organizations, IUFRO Newsletters, lists of IUFRO meetings and IUFRO publications and Reports of meetings. Later, there will be a Discussion forum and Publications section. Development of the Server: A server naturally depends on the users' contributions. At the moment the present server resembles a house that is finished in the rough, but that still needs painting and furniture. Thus, the installation of the server is an invitation to all IUFRO officeholders to furnish it with data and information. Hypermedia-Server in preparation: The present gopher is provisional and temporary. It will be replaced by a hypermedia server with extended search capacity by spring 1995. Contact address: If you have any questions, suggestions or contributions, please contact: feichter@forvie.ac.at Heinrich Schmutzenhofer IUFRO Secretary Seckendorff-Gudent-Weg 8 1131 Vienna, Austria E-mail: hschmutz@forvie.ac.at
