In the course of finding sites of interest for this Newsletter, we sometimes come across Web sites which we feel deserve slightly more than a passing mention. Each month we will try to pick out one or more such sites, and give them a short review. The sites will normally be UK based, may be small or large, and be of interest or potential interest to academics. After lengthy discussions we have decided, with incredible creativity, to call these: Nice Web Sites. Details of previous Nice Web Sites are available in the Nice Web Site Archive.

RS Components have put a lot of effort into this site which provides access to a catalogue of over 100,000 electrical and electronic parts. The catalogue can be searched or browsed, and allows users in the UK to order directly. For those who register, a technical data library is available which gives more product information. The site is very fast, and although it does not always display perfectly on my browser, I think its quite a Nice Web Site.

Emedia Professional is one of several magazines published by Online Inc., which describes itself on its own Web site 'Your Guide to the Information Age'. Other titles are Database, and Online (mentioned in issues 8 and 34 of the Internet Resources Newsletter), both of which are excellent publications.
Emedia Professional is aimed at producers and business users of various types of publishing media such as CD-ROM, CD-Recordable, DVD, CD-ROM/online hybrids, and Internet-based products, the last two of which are relevant to the Internet Resources Newsletter. The magazine includes a large amount of industry news, product news, and product reviews, the bulk of which, in the review copy I received, concerned CD, CD-R, DVD, CD-ROM and other multimedia data storage systems and authoring software. For those interested in such media Emedia Professional is a good source of up-to-date information, especially on the situation in the US. Those more interested in the Internet, especially information professionals, will probably find Online a more relevant source of news.

When is a newsletter not a newsletter? I don't really know the answer to that question. Certainly Community Connection, being one double-sided A4 sheet, is rather brief to be considered as such, but as its publishers call it a newsletter I will include it in this Internet in Print section. Community Connection is published by the Construction Supernetwork, a very useful American 'electronic community' for concrete and masonry construction professionals. The newsletter is available in print, or online, from the Construction SuperNetwork Web site. It complements the contents of the Construction SuperNetwork in that it includes details about its various features, such as its Resource Locator, and its Article Archive, but it also includes notes about one or two other, connected, Web sites. To continue to be successful, Web sites such as the Construction SuperNetwork need to be promoted both online and in print, and the Community Connection is an example of the latter.
If you know of other Internet journals or journals with regular significant sections about the Internet which have not been mentioned in The Internet in Print section, please let me know at: R.A.MacLeod@hw.ac.uk
