Subject:        Touchstone

I would like to alert SHAKSPER members to a new Shakespeare-related
online service, Touchstone, a collaborative venture between the
Shakespeare Institute, Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and Birmingham
Library Services.

With Touchstone you can:

*   Locate unique and rare Shakespeare resources in the UK
*   Identify forthcoming UK Shakespeare productions and  search a
database for information on previous productions
*   Discover information on forthcoming conferences, lectures, and
events
*   Track down any Shakespeare theatre groups, societies, and
associations
*   Submit questions to the Shakespeare Enquiry Service

Touchstone is intended to appeal to enthusiasts, academics,
theatre-goers and theatre workers, teachers, undergraduate and graduate
students.

Comments and suggestions from SHAKSPER members are welcomed,
particularly notices concerning forthcoming Shakespeare-related events
(productions, courses, lectures, conferences...) in the United Kingdom.

Touchstone is now available for free at http://www.touchstone.bham.ac.uk

Touchstone is funded by the British Library Co-operation and Partnership
Programme.
