Even if they are "virtual" the work to get it done is not virtual!

I am very pleased to announce the availability, on line, of two new books
in SGML. 

1) La construction de l'anthropologie quebecoise : melanges
offerts a Marc-Adelard Tremblay / sous la direction de Francois Trudel,
Paul Charest, Yvan Breton. -- Sainte-Foy : Presses de l'Universite Laval,
1995.  

2) L'horizon de la culture : hommage à Fernand Dumont / sous la
direction de Simon Langlois et Yves Martin. -- Sainte-Foy : Presses de
l'Université Laval, 1995 (Publié en collaboration avec l'Institut
quebecois de recherche sur la culture).  

These two books are in French and were published to honour two
distinguished professors of the Universite Laval (Quebec, Canada). The
first one discusses the contributions of Marc-Adelard Tremblay to the
field of Anthropology in the province of Quebec. The second one explain
the work of an eminent sociologist, Fernand Dumont, in the understanding
of the culture of Quebec. 70 scholars have contributed to these books.  


I have used the ISO 12083 DTD to tag these works in SGML. Then, using a
style sheet with Softquad Panorama (an SGML browser for the Web), I
derived a version in HTML.  I did this experience in electronic
publication in SGML at the Ecole de bibliotheconomie et des sciences de
l'information (School of Library and Information Science) of the
Universite de Montreal with the support of the Université Laval Library 
(Quebec, Canada).

You can peruse these books (in SGML OR in HTML) now on the Web site of 
the Université Laval Library.
