[cmath] Fwd: ICMI Digital Library--from Bernard

[Peter Taylor]

>Dear ICMI Representatives and Chairs of ICMI Affiliated Study Groups,
>
>I am pleased to inform you that ICMI is 
>inaugurating today its Digital Library.
>
>The project of an ICMI Digital Library, where 
>eventually "all" publications related to ICMI 
>and its activities will be made available freely 
>online, has been under discussion for a long 
>time.  Thanks to the support received from the 
>International Mathematical Union, and especially 
>the IMU Committee on Electronic Information and 
>Communication (CEIC), much progress has been 
>made recently as regards this project, and in 
>particular the digitisation of past ICMI material.
>
>Today ICMI is celebrating this opening with the 
>posting online of the Proceedings of the 
>symposium organised in 2000 on the occasion of 
>the centennial of L'Enseignement Mathématique, 
>the official organ of ICMI.  The ICMI Executive 
>Committee wishes to express its gratitude to the 
>editors of L'EM for generously granting 
>permission to post the book on the ICMI website.
>
>More material will be made accessible 
>progressively, including all the issues of the 
>ICMI Bulletin, the volumes resulting from the 
>ICMI Studies or the Proceedings of the ICME 
>congresses.  It is also our intent to include in 
>the Digital Library other documents related to 
>activities organised under the auspices of ICMI, 
>such as the proceedings of ICMI regional conferences.
>
>Comment and suggestions about the ICMI Digital 
>Library Project and how to make it a useful tool 
>for the community are most welcome.
>
>The Digital Library can be directly accessed via the ICMI website
>
>http://www.mathunion.org/ICMI/

>Best wishes,
>
>Bernard
