Inventory: What I already have

Currently on my shelf are: 1997-2008 with the few exceptions listed above. Then there was an online publishing time and I do not have any online articles. In the year 2009 small booklets named Volume 15 / 2009, Update 1-10 have been released. They contained single articles. Then in 2010 this continued for 5 issues named Volume 16 / 2010, Update 1-5.
Starting late in 2010, Volume 16, Issue 6 returned as printed version. This was highly appreciated. It now contained the extra info: Fall 2010 indicating only 4 issues for a year.

The last paper version which I own has been published in the year 2012, Volume 18, Issue 4, Fall 2012. The oldest issue in my collection is January/February 1996, Volume 2, Issue 1.


Some History about THE VIEW

THE VIEW was a high quality technical journal primarily aimed at teaching people on how to get the most of their platform investment in Notes and Domino. Over years every year approx. six (6) issues have been published in paper format.

Journal Content

The journal covered @Formulas, LotusScript, Java programming, featured descriptions on how to setup or use some of the new features that made their way into the product while it evolved over the years and discussed third-party vendor solutions that might have long disappeared from the business world as of today.

When I read the first paper issue, I noticed that it had no advertising in it. This was highly appreciated. It helped to focus mainly on the topics of all kind of programming features discussed and inherently available from the Notes/Domino platform.
Of course the single issue was not cheap. They charged 49 Dollars for one.

Status Quo – Now what?

As of today, THE VIEW completely disappeared. Even the domain eview.com is now for sale. It could be yours if money does not matter 😉 Nothing is published these days. I tried to contact the original publisher in order to buy some missing issues for my/our collection, but I had no luck. They refused to answer questions or indicated that they have no interest at all to sell something to me. Too bad.

I started to collect the journal issues in the last century. Up to now, I’m happy that I still have a bunch of the original yellowish issues physically at hand.

In order to complete my collection I searched for a way to find and buy old issues. But this is difficult these days. No offers on the web, nothing on ebay and nothing can be found in the huge catalogs of most dealers for old books and journals.


Publishing the bibliography

Well, the internet never forgets seems not to be true for THE VIEW. As a service to the Notes/Domino community, I try to provide a bibliography for the journal issues I have collected so far.

I started to build a Notes database with references to all individual articles, but without the full text. It just contains the bibliographical data of the author’s name, title, journal volume and number, pages and as a Note the institution the author belongs to or was associated with. This bibliographical information can not be copyrighted. The original articles are copyrighted and can not be distributed. I will not share the content with anybody – do not ask. Current copyright laws make this sharing impossible.
