Covers the history, recent developments and technology gaps that affect facsimile (fax) software development – one of the most exciting and technologically challenging developments in computer software today. Hopes to prepare readers to accept and understand the fax software (and modem) technology of the near future.

Perhaps you have noticed that, ever since fax and scanning came into common use with personal computers, there has been a certain overlapping of functions. The functions I'm talking about are printing, scanning, faxing and copying. Most personal computers now have laser printers attached. Many also have fax modems and a smaller number of PC systems have scanners. At the same time, many PC users also have separate fax machines and copiers.

Given the ways in which the research pressures on university staff are becoming seemingly ever greater, an issue of the European Journal of Marketing that is given over to a survey of the kinds of research initiatives which are currently being carried out is timely. The study which provides the basis for this was conducted between December 1994 and February 1995, with questionnaires being sent to staff in universities throughout Europe. At the time the final selection was made, a total of 150 responses had been received from 18 countries.

Computer‐based fax‐on‐demand systems will answer the phone and guide a caller through voice menu selections. The caller identifies the information desired by pressing the numbers on the touchtone keypad of the phone. The fax‐on‐demand system then delivers the information to the caller through either a one‐call or two‐call/call‐back method. Fax‐on‐demand is often confused with two other forms of fax messaging—fax broadcasting and fax mail. Fax broadcasting is the sending of one document to many locations; fax mail is similar to voice mail except fax messages instead of voice messages are delivered to one or more specified mail boxes. In contrast, fax‐on‐demand can better be characterized as a response application that allows individual callers to use touchtone telephones to access a database and other information, which can then be delivered to the caller's fax machine.

THE popular image of Ireland is of a land where one can enjoy the perfect holiday. If you are a golfer, fisherman, rambler or if you just enjoy good food and of course the black nectar for which it is famous, then Ireland is the place to go, take the word of TV Chef, Keith Floyd. Ireland however, unlike many small countries, is not content to base its economy on tourism.

Examines the tenth published year of the ITCRR. Runs the whole gamut of textile innovation, research and testing, some of which investigates hitherto untouched aspects. Subjects discussed include cotton fabric processing, asbestos substitutes, textile adjuncts to cardiovascular surgery, wet textile processes, hand evaluation, nanotechnology, thermoplastic composites, robotic ironing, protective clothing (agricultural and industrial), ecological aspects of fibre properties – to name but a few! There would appear to be no limit to the future potential for textile applications.

One of the most important requirements in property management today is fast and effective communications. Poor communications can put companies in danger of losing business, by failing to keep up with competition or by creating delays in obtaining information to secure new contracts. This is why a growing number of companies involved in the ownership, operation and maintenance of property now benefit from the use of facsimile, popularly known as ‘fax’, to send anything from a diagram to a delivery note. Building engineers, surveyors, architects, designers and consultants are included in the largest fax user sector — business and professional services — which make up 26 per cent of the UK's fax population.

There has been a proliferation in commercial electronic document delivery services. Over the past few years this consistent growth, combined with enhancements to existing services, has made it difficult for librarians to keep abreast of the latest developments and service availability. This paper presents an overview of document delivery services and suppliers, and provides discussion on the various types currently available. The paper is further divided into non‐collection‐based services, collection‐based services and specialised collection‐based services. Detailed information about particular services has been collated and presented in tabular form: this includes information regarding cost, delivery time, subject field and full contact details.
