NOTISes, the NOTIS newsletter, was published
· monthly, from April 1985 - Oct/Nov. 1993 issues 1-95 ;
· quarterly, from 1994 -7 part of the time under the title Connected .
Links to scanned issues 1-20 and 26-95, which are held by the Northwestern University Library Archives, can be found below.
The quarterly issues are not held by Northwestern, and issues 21-25 Aug-Dec. 1987 are missing. If, by chance, your library has these and you’d be willing to scan them, please send me the files attached to an email and I will put them on the website as well: jerry.specht@exlibrisgroup.com .
The only parts which were not scanned were the forms (for ordering documentation, price lists, etc., repeated in each issue) and the Troubleshooting sections. {The latter not because I’m a self-hating masochist but because – though very well-written (mostly by me!) – they are extremely “Assembler-specific” and of little or no interest nowadays….}
Tables of Contents. From the first issue through Sept. 1988, the Table of Contents for the issue is at or near the end; from Oct. 1988 to the last issue, the Table of Contents is on the first page of the issue. Note: not all issues (especially earlier ones) have Tables of Contents.
In fitting two scanned PDFs on a single web page, the type came out rather small. To view a page in larger type: move your cursor to the bottom of the page (older Firefox) or the bottom right of the page (IE or Chrome); you should see a bar with magnifying glasses “-“ and “+”; click on the “+”.
With the current Firefox, the Adobe Reader Toolbar with the “-“ and “+” appears automatically at the top; selecting the “Page Fit” option in the “Automatic Zoom”, followed by the “Page Width” option will give you a readable two-page-at-a-time display for all the issues from 1986-up. The 1985 issues require further magnification.
