Dear First Monday readers,

Last month, First Monday announced that it will make available a CD-ROM containing a full archive of the journal's first four years (1996-1999). This compact disc will be available to the public in May 2000, to coincide with 9th International World WIde Web Conference ( WWW9) in Amsterdam as well as First Monday's fourth birthday.

You, as a dedicated reader of First Monday, can order in advance copies of the archive CD-ROM at a reduced price: $10 for individuals, or $100 for institutional purchases. Please send a message by e-mail to ejv@uic.edu indicating your interest in a First Monday CD. All advance orders must be received by May 6, 2000 in order to qualify for these prices. After May 6, 2000 (First Monday's birthday), the disc will cost $20 to individuals, $200 to institutions.

If you express your interest in the compact disc before April 1, 2000 by e-mail, and provide a postal address with your message, First Monday will mail to you, at no additional cost to you, a bumper sticker with the distinctive First Monday logo and URL.

Please keep in mind that all revenues generated from the sale of this compact disc will be used to support First Monday and improve your access to it.

We know that many of you have been reading First Monday for years. We look forward to your continued support of First Monday this year as well as your suggestions. We always welcome ideas that will help us keep First Monday free and open to all.
