announcing an experimental method for searching for copyrighted works
online and the May issue of CIT Infobits (from The University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill Center for Instructional Technology) pointing us to
a "Scientific American" article on the Semantic Web by Tim Berners Lee and

>NEW SEARCH METHOD LAUNCHED FOR PILOT TESTING
>
>The Copyright Office invites NewsNet readers to pilot test a
>new copyright search method. The Web-based search allows
>users to find copyright information pertaining to more than
>14 million works registered since 1978. The interface is
>designed with user-friendly commands for first-time and
>occasional users. The older, powerful Telnet-based LOCIS
>system will also continue to be available.
>
>NewsNet readers are encouraged to conduct searches in the
>system's three databases: registered works, serials, and
>documents. Pilot testers may report problems they encounter
>and any suggestions for improvements by email to
>copyweb@loc.gov. The Copyright Office appreciates your
>help.

Managing web resources for persistent access
*******************************************************
The persistence of links to online resources is essential to ensure
long-term public access to
web-based materials. The National Library of Australia has just produced a
set of guidelines called "Managing web resources for persistent access"
<http://www.nla.gov.au/guidelines/2000/persistence.html>http://www.nla.gov.au/guidelines/2000/persistence.html
designed to assist
those responsible for the management of online materials to ensure that
links made to those resources continue to work.
The guidelines provide advice on determining the categories of resources
that require persistent access and systems for managing persistence such as
redirects, resolver databases or persistent identifier services. The
guidelines also provide information on how to organise a web site to reduce
the need to move material around, and to keep older material accessible.
A printed version of the guidelines is also available and may be obtained by
contacting the Electronic Unit, National Library of Australia by email at
elecunit@nla.gov.au or by phone at (02) 62621140
