Dear Don,

Here is the note I sent to NABOKV-L about ADAonline.

Best wishes,

Jeff

Dear All,

ADAonline, which is edging toward 1700 hits since the counter went in (some
time after the first flurry following the site's launch), has been considerably updated since the last announcement. It is pleasing to see so many ADAphiles and curiosity-seekers exploring the site.

To add to the number, go to:

http://www.libraries.psu.edu/nabokov/ada/index.htm

If there were a need for further proof of Nabokov's international appeal, it might be pointed out that the visitors to ADAonline have come, so far, from over two dozen countries, including Australia, Belgium, China, France, French Polynesia, Germany, Japan, Korea (Republic of), Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Thanks to the generosity of code writers in five countries (Stephen Celis [USA], Genevieve de Pont [New Zealand], Sergey Karpukhin [Russia], Prokopis Prokopidis [Greece], and Ludger Tolksdorf [Germany]), almost two-thirds of ADA is now online, so that anyone without a copy of the Vintage or first editions now can access through ADAonline much of the text with the pagination and lineage of these standard versions.

Annotations and afternotes to Part I Chapters 1-14, updated and considerably
expanded since first publication in The Nabokovian, are now also online and
hyperlinked to the text of ADA and to the Motif index.

Corrections and suggestions of any kind (typos, formatting, hyperlinking, or
especially additional information) are most welcome.
