Dear SIG members As you may have already learned, the nominations committee asked me to be one of the candidate for ASIS&T President. I was not only surprised and deeply honored but also moved by this unique gesture vis-a-vis an international member. Even though I am not personally too keen of formal positions, I thought that this offer could not be refused. I have now to prepare a statement for the membership explaining what "my" plans are for our society. Like any one else I have my own ideas about what ASIS&T priorities should be. But I am even more convinced that even the best ideas in the world, have no chance to be implemented unless they reflect members' aspirations and will. Whatever ASIS&T undertakes it can only succeed if its members fully commit themselves to the success of the endeavour. As a starting point in seeking the largest possible participation and involvement, I'd like to ask you what is in your opinion THE most important task that ASIS&T should accomplish in order to better serve its members and fulfill its mission, and that is doable within 3 to 5 years. We seem to be collectively quite aware of issues and problems, but less prepared to propose practical actions. What I look for is DO's. And doers :-) I would be most indebted from your input. I don't commit to follow the all suggestions I'll receive but will certainly consider them with the highest attention. Whatever the outcome of the election, I hope this can be the beginning of an easier and wider participation of all members in making their society grow. Thank you very much in advance Cordially, Michel Menou PS Of course, what you will say in the on-going members' survey will also feed my reflection, if available in time. So please respond to it.

Unusually at ECDL2003, posters (and demonstrations where feasible) will be on permanent display throughout the conference, providing an excellent opportunity to showcase work in progress and recent results and network with other conference delegates. In addition there will be specific programme slots for poster and demonstration presenters to announce and present their work. Posters and demonstrations are invited on all aspects of the conference themes. Guidelines on submission (and required formats if appropriate) are available from: http://www.ecdl2003.org/guidelines.htm An electronic submission form for proposals is at: http://www.ecdl2003.org/PostersAndDemos/addPosterDemoForm.php There has already been a very good response to earlier calls for contributions and we expect the overall quality of research paper presentations, workshops and tutorials at ECDL2003 to be very high. This deadline is the final opportunity for contributors to submit proposals, so act now! Wireless networking is promised for the conference venue in Trondheim, Norway, potentially adding value to the visual and interactive attractions of posters and demonstrations. Posters -- Posters are an excellent forum for informal and interactive presentations of early stages of research and late-breaking results from ongoing projects, prior to the publishing of a formal paper and mature working demonstration. Successful posters are carefully designed to convey technical details and have a strong visual impact that attracts the attention of attendees as they stroll past the displays, either during the interactive poster sessions or at other times during the conference. Demonstrations -- Demonstrations are an excellent forum for informal and interactive presentations of ongoing projects or mature results. Demonstrations of relevant results related to scientific papers that have also been submitted to the conference are strongly encouraged. Remember - 19 May is the deadline. --- Dr L Huxley FCIPD, FRSA Publicity Chair: ECDL 2003 www.ecdl.org Research Director/Acting Institute Director ILRT, University of Bristol --------------------------- Traugott Koch, Programme Chair of ECDL 2003 (http://www.ecdl2003.org), the Seventh European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries, August 17-22, 2003, Trondheim, Norway +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | TRAUGOTT KOCH, Senior librarian, Digital Library Scientist | Knowledge Technologies Group, NetLab.

These are small portions of lesson material designed to be used in multiple configurations for multiple instructional applications, ranging from distance learning to interactive simulation. As broadband and wireless technologies change the expectations and performance patterns of the user, learning objects change the nature of content and the way that it must be managed. The size and diversity of digital collections affect the options through which these materials can be accessed. Many libraries are offering wireless access to their networks and many individuals are accessing digital libraries off-site using broadband technologies. Each of these trends affects decisions made for collection development, portal design and network design, and those decisions dictate specific technological requirements for access. This panel session highlights management and infrastructure issues of digital libraries as they relate to learning objects, broadband and wireless technologies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- Session 199 TITLE Digital Library Cooperatives: Issues and Updates AUTHORS Bill Edgar, University of Arizona, Moderator ABSTRACT There are many approaches to the word "cooperate" when applied to digital libraries. With funding resources and programs such as DLI and DLI2 coordinating federal and state resources, cooperative projects for digital libraries and digital library cooperatives have grown at a record pace in the last five years. This panel discussion will bring attendees up to date on research, practice and projects in digital library cooperatives. Moderator: Bill Edgar, University of Arizona Thanks- Tom Dr. Thomas F.

These collections include film and video archives, news material, oral histories, museum images and digitized special collections. As more multimedia collections are digitized, there is a growing need for proactive digital design to assure access and interoperability without compromising the content of the collections. Subject areas range from digital image reference services; museums and web-based exhibits to the use of face recognition software for national security. This interactive panel session features experts who are pushing the envelope of multimedia digital libraries, from lessons learned on recent projects to architecture considerations for future standards.

Dick Hill] ------------ The announcement below represents an important additional step along the road towards effective large scale archiving of journals in digital form. My thanks to Betsy Humphreys at NLM for passing this along. Clifford Lynch Director, CNI XML DTD Describes Standard Content Model for Electronic Archiving and Publishing of Journal Articles BETHESDA, MD -- May 27, 2003 -- The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) of the National Library of Medicine (NLM; http://www.nlm.nih.gov) has created two XML DTDs that will simplify electronic journal publishing and increase the accuracy of the archiving and exchange of scholarly journal articles. The Journal Publishing DTD (http://dtd.nlm.nih.gov/publishing) and the Archiving and Interchange DTD (http://dtd.nlm.nih.gov) were both created from the Archiving and Interchange Tagset. The Publishing DTD defines a common format for the creation of journal content in XML. The Archiving DTD also defines journal articles, but it has a more open structure; it is less strict about required elements and their order. The Archiving DTD defines a target content model for the conversion of any sensibly structured journal article and provides a common format in which publishers, aggregators, and archives can exchange journal content. The DTDs were created after collaboration between the Harvard University E-Journal Archiving Project and NCBI. This collaboration was inspired by Inera Inc.'s (http://www.inera.com) "E-Journal Archival DTD Feasibility Study" (http://www.diglib.org/preserve/hadtdfs.pdf). Harvard and Inera's participation was supported by the Mellon Foundation. Mulberry Technologies (http://www.mulberrytech.com) and Inera examined thousands of articles from hundreds of journals to be sure that the content models being defined were comprehensive. After this extensive modeling, the consultants worked with NCBI to create the Archiving and Interchange DTD, then NCBI and Mulberry created the Journal Publishing DTD to help publishers who had not yet selected a format for their electronic content. The DTDs may be used as is, or the Tagset can be used to construct other DTDs. These DTDs and the Tagset are in the public domain.
