<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Dear ICMI Representatives and
Chairs of ICMI Affiliated Study Groups,<br><br>
I am pleased to inform you that ICMI is inaugurating today its Digital
Library.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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<i> L'Enseignement Mathématique</i>, 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.<br><br>
More material will be made accessible progressively, including all the
issues of the<i> ICMI Bulletin</i>, 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.<br><br>
Comment and suggestions about the ICMI Digital Library Project and how to
make it a useful tool for the community are most welcome.<br><br>
The Digital Library can be directly accessed via the ICMI
website<br><br>
