Charles Davis writes \"
The University of Birmingham is launching a comprehensive
website for devotees of William Shakespeare.

The Touchstone site aims to make the bard\'s life and works
available from a single source.

It will provide information on all professional, amateur and
academic activity and details of research collections.

The resource has been developed by the University\'s
Shakespeare Institute Library and backed by the British Library.

It launches fully on April 23, to coincide with the date commonly
regarded as Shakespeare\'s birthday in 1564.

The site is available at: www.touchstone.bham.ac.uk. \"
