<p>Thanks to those of you who were able to respond to this request for information. Some of my favorite sigcis e-mail is of this sort as I then go and look at many of the citations mentioned. <br>
<br>
I particularly like it when colleagues mention their Masters and Ph.D. dissertations and provide a link to where we can obtain a copy. This is of extraordinary importance because it is incredibly easy not to be aware of important research. Therefore, I would like to suggest that if you have not shared with everyone your dissertations, that you do so electronically, if you can. I for one have kept a copy of each dissertation that has been made available through this sigcis so that there is at least one copy that gets preserved outside of the normal places, and for European and Asian dissertations, a copy in the USA. I hope others do the same, particularly at such institutions as CBI and universities.<br>
