Survey on digital library education:
At the School of Communication, Information and Library Studies, Rutgers
University, we are engaged in development of a general digital collection
entitled D-Lib Edu, Resources for Education in Digital Libraries. The
purpose is to create a collaboratively constructed resource, open to all,
for facilitating and furthering education for and study of digital
libraries. D-Lib Edu will include publicly available texts, activities,
links and commentary that can be useful to students, teachers, and
researchers concerned with digital libraries. We interpret 'digital
libraries' in a broad sense to encompass many variations in practice,
research and development on the general theme of organizing and accessing
human knowledge records and collections in digital and networked
environments.
As a part of this effort we are conducting a survey to collect information
about the state of educational efforts related to digital libraries. We
are inviting responses to following questions about educational offerings:
1. Does your institution offer course(s), seminars or institutes in
digital libraries and/or related areas? If so, please provide as much
information as possible, particularly including URLs.
2. Does your institution teach digital library topics within (or as a part
of) other courses, seminars, or institutes? If so, please provide as much
information as possible, particularly including URLs.
3. In what department or school are the digital library course(s) offered?
4. On what level - undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, professional
development?
Please send responses to: dlibedu@scils.rutgers.edu
The results will be used in two ways: (i) we will incorporate them,
particularly URLs with a short description in D-Lib Edu: and (ii) we will
synthesize them in a report addressing not only the state, but also the
issues and challenges for digital library education.
In a way, this survey is an effort at updating and broadening of a similar
survey conducted four years ago: Spink, A. & Cool, C. (1999). Education
for digital libraries. D-Lib Magazine, 5 (5).
We are looking forward to response and collaboration to include your
efforts.

_Candidates for e-Profiles_
Recently, I was appointed a Contributing Editor of _Library Hi Tech
News_ (LHTN) [ http://www.mcb.co.uk/lhtn.htm ], the companion news journal
of _Library Hi Tech_ [ http://www.mcb.co.uk/lht.htm ].
[LTHN will have a change in it's editorship with the 2001 issues]
For LHTN, I will author a regular column tentatively titled "e-Profiles".
The intent of e-Profiles is to provide a descriptive profile of new, novel,
innovative, emerging, unusual, and/or unconventional Web technologies,
applications and resources.
I am greatly interested in receiving nominations of candidates for
potential review in a future eProfiles column. I am most interested in those
technologies, applications and/or resources that *you* believe are
noteworthy but are not as well known as they should be among our colleagues.
As an example, I believe the highly novel index to _Astrophysical
Journal_
created using Kohonen self-organizing semantic maps
[ http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/ApJ/map.pl ]
is particularly noteworthy and a technology, application _and_ resource
that should be more widely recognized. [I plan to profile this index in one
of my first columns for LHTN]
As Always, Any and All contributions, suggestions, comments, queries,
questions, cosmic insights, etc., etc., etc. are Most Welcome.

_Mega-Alerting Services_
I am greatly interested in identifying e-journals that offer
Alerting/SDI services that include *not only* the Table of Contents of the
current issue (or personalized version of such) _but also_ a separate (or
combined) Alerting/SDI service for other communication venues associated
with the e-journal (e.g., electronic discussion lists, discussion forums,
reader commentary, etc.) as they take place within or outside of the
e-journal.
For examples of the various types of e-journal discourse, please see
my latest Web registry _EJI(sm)_ devoted to "Innovative E-Journal Features,
Functionalities, and Content"
[ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/EJI.htm]
I am also interested in Any and All *subject/discipline* e-journal
Alerting / SDI services, particularly those offered by any of the
Aggregators, as well as those that one to receive Alerts from potentially
all e-journals offered by a publisher or aggregator WITHOUT having to
establish a interest profile within *individual* e-journals.
[NOTE: Other novel Alerting/SDI services are also of interest]
As Always, Any and All contributions. comments, queries, questions,
critiques, cosmic insights, lengthy inaugural speeches, etc., etc., etc. are
Most Welcome!
