ARTICLE ALERT

2004

Welcome to the first edition of the special issue of Article Alert we produce for our mission to the EU.



Article Alert is a selection of recent publications on U.S.-EU affairs, providing interesting and varied third party insights into current policy matters. This compilation is published on a monthly basis.

Important Notice: Most abstracts on this page are hyperlinked to the full text version of the journal articles. Just click on "full text" to download the article. When the abstract links back to ProQuest, you will be required to enter a password. This password will be sent to you via email, on request.

Copyright legislation prevents us from making articles available to users outside of the EU and its applicant countries. Also, because of the Smith-Mundt Act, we cannot send articles to users in the United States.

If you want to subscribe to this monthly publication, or if you have any comments or suggestions regarding Article Alert, please send us an email at useu-pa@state.gov.

Views expressed in the articles are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect U.S. government policies.

Gary Price and Chris Sherman on web searching

Right now, as I write this, Gary Price and Chris Sherman and are giving a virtual lecture called "Web Research: What's New in 2004". It's part of the Library of Congress's "Luminary Lectures @ Your Library" series. I can't get on because their server is at capacity, but according to the web page, a recorded version of the lecture, with slides, will be available at this site:

http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/lectures/gpcs.html within the next couple of days.

Note: the live broadcast is a realplayer file, so you won't be able to see it anyway if you've lost your PDNet already.

A Look Ahead: The New Hampshire Primary (2004-01-21) Since 1920, the New Hampshire primary election has occupied a unique place in the presidential campaign as the first official primary in the country.

This year, the primary will be held on January 27. more

Kerry Wins Iowa Democratic Caucuses (2004-01-20) Massachusetts Senator John Kerry captured the first stage in the long race to determine the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee January 19 by winning 38 percent of the votes cast in the Iowa precinct caucuses. With this "Iowa bounce," Kerry has momentum going into the nation's first primary election, January 27 in New Hampshire.
