Subject: Internet Public Library
Humanists will be interested to know about and to explore the (American)
Internet Public Library, <http://www.ipl.org/>, whose purpose is to "serve
the public by finding, evaluating, selecting, organizing, describing, and
creating quality information resources; develop and provide services for our
community with an awareness of the different needs of young people; create a
strong, coherent sense of place on the Internet, while ensuring that our
library remains a useful and consistently innovative environment as well as
fun and easy to use; work with others, especially other libraries and
librarians, on projects which will help us all learn more about what does
and does not work in this environment; uphold the values important to
librarians, in particular those expressed in the Library Bill of Rights."

Subject: JTAP 'Virtual Seminars': Three reports
>> From: Stuart Lee <stuart.lee@computing-services.oxford.ac.uk>
The JTAP Virtual Seminars Project has published three further reports at:
http://info.ox.ac.uk/jtap/reports/
The first two reports are the slides from the talks presented at this
year's ALLC/ACH conference in Debrecen, Hungary. They are 'The Wilfred
Owen Multimedia Archive' (P. Groves) and 'Evaluation of the Virtual
Seminars Project' (S. Porter - includes a link to sample evaluation
questionnaires.)
The third one, 'Forging Links: The Virtual Seminars Project' (by S. D.
Lee), provides an overview of the pedagogic aims of the four on-line
tutorials to teach literature. This will also appear as part of the CTI
Centre for Textual Studies collection on European Literature, and has been
reproduced with their kind permission.

Subject: "SKETCHING THE FUTURE OF COPYRIGHT IN A NETWORKED WORLD"
NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT
July 28, 1998
NEW COPYRIGHT OFFICE PUBLICATION:
"SKETCHING THE FUTURE OF COPYRIGHT IN A NETWORKED WORLD"
by Trotter Hardy
<http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/cpypub/thardy.pdf>
The Copyright Office is publishing what, at first take, looks like an
important, useful and very readable overview of copyright issues in the
digitally networked environment.
The 300-page report has a 16-page executive summary and a shorter
conclusion that highlights "today's legal issues" and "tomorrow's issues."
It recognizes the unpredictability, both of technology and of the public's
needs and desires, in the near future and the range of business models that
may be coming into play.
The report is currently available as a .pdf file and will be available in
mid-August as a $23 print publication.

The Digitisation Forum Online (DFO)

Although the following site is designed with an Australian audience in
mind, it contains over 200 links (with descriptions) to sites and papers
relevant to the digitisation process, and as such I thought it might be
useful to people like Shane Beverley who need information on things like
scanning resolutions. The site is constantly being updated. International
visitors are more than welcome, although the Register of Projects is
specifically for Australian projects.
http://www.digitisation.net.au
The Digitisation Forum Online (DFO) is a web site for those working in
Australian art galleries, libraries, museums, archives and other public and
private institutions who are engaged in projects involving digitisation.
The DFO has been funded by the Commonwealth Department of Communications
and the Arts as part of its Australia's Cultural Network Internet project.
This web site was developed in South Australia with the support of Arts SA
and Ngapartji Cooperative Multimedia Centre.
The site helps the target audience keep up to date with the latest
developments in digitisation, to locate other institutions within the
country who are involved in digitisation activities, and to share expertise
and experience in this field.
This site features an Australian Projects Register - a list of projects
undertaken by cultural institutions that involve digitisation. The thirty
or so projects currently listed in the Register can be searched via a
number of filters to find those that are of particular relevance to a
cultural institution or stakeholder.
The site also lists relevant Australian and international conferences, and
has links to over 200 websites and papers in the following areas:
Technical Standards
Cataloguing, indexing and metadata
Preservation and Archiving
Migration and storage
Access, navigation and finding aids
Copyright, Intellectual Property, Authenticity
Hardware and Software
Budgetting
General information (Includes Project Information & exemplar sites)
Resources (Includes resource groups, e-journals & e-mail lists)
