Extractions: U5: Networked Information Discovery and Retrieval - Panel The panelists are collaborating on a Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) initiative to prepare a white paper that examines problems associated with identifying, selecting, and retrieving information in widely distributed heterogenerous environments. This session will include a report on research that explores architectural issues related to improving nidr, particularly as they pertain to metadata used in conjunction with nidr tools. The panelists will explore the role of metadata in improving nidr and discuss the elements beyond metadata that are needed to achieve a more robust nidr. They also will report on the outcome of an effort to cross-map metadata across many domains into a generic element set and the implications of this effort for the development of URC's and other core element sets such as the one that resulted from the OCLC/NCSA Metadata Conference.

Mission Statement The mission of the Coalition for Networked Information is to promote the creation of and access to information resources in networked environments in order to enrich scholarship and to enhance intellectual productivity. The Coalition pursues its mission by seeking to realize the information distribution and access potential of existing and proposed high performance computers and networks that support the research and educational activities of a wide variety of institutions and organizations. The Coalition accomplishes this realization by undertaking activities, on its own and in partnership with others, that formulate, promulgate, evaluate, and promote policies and protocols that enable powerful, flexible, and universal access to networked information resources. The Coalition directs the combined intellectual, technological, professional, and financial resources of its members to a shared vision of how the nature of information management is changing and will continue to change through the end of the 20th Century and into the beginning of the 21st. Goals and Objectives To inspire, by promulgating vision statements that (a) project the future characteristics and capabilities of high performance computers and advanced networks, and (b) analyze those characteristics and capabilities in terms of their likely impacts, both positive and negative, on research and educational communication. To inform, by identifying, endorsing, supporting, and coordinating projects that (a) are collaborative, (b) seek to advance the understanding of or the state-of-the-art relative to the vision statements, (c) recognize the need for open architectures and standards, and (d) fully disclose their objectives, methods, and findings. To influence, by advocating principles, guidelines, and positions that address the behavioral, social, cultural, and economic processes and structures that both enable and constrain the use of high performance computers and advanced networks as infrastructures for research and educational communication. To synergize, by providing opportunities for senior administrators of libraries and senior administrators of information technologies in higher education institutions to work with comparable administrators from other institutions and organizations in a common enterprise to shape a shared future. Organizational Strategy The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), CAUSE, and EDUCOM comprise the Coalition which functions as an activity of ARL that takes direction from CAUSE and EDUCOM through their chief executives. The Coalition carries out its work through a Task Force of institutions and organizations that pay its assessed dues, actively engage in its program of work, and are governed by its leadership. The Coalition Task Force is composed of the senior administrator of libraries and the senior administrator of information technologies of higher education member institutions and comparable leaders and officers from other member institutions and organizations. The positions assumed and activities undertaken by the Coalition and its Task Force are coordinated by a nine person Steering Committee appointed by the chief executives of ARL, CAUSE, and EDUCOM with each executive naming three members. The Steering Committee charges and forms Working Groups to focus the attention of the Task Force in general areas or on specific tasks in which collaborative thought, planning, and action are necessary to pursue the mission of the Coalition or to achieve one or more of its goals and objectives. The Task Force meets for two days and an evening each March in order to establish the general terms of reference for its program and budget and for two days and an evening each November to advance progress on specific tasks and to update information on specific projects.
Extractions: Abdus Sattar Chaudhry, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia INTRODUCTION Network information resources, as extensions of library collections and as bibliographic and communications utilities with their unprecedented connectivity, speed of transmission and world-wide breadth have created excellent opportunities for libraries. Networks such as BITNET, JANET, NREN, ISN-NET, and others provide navigational tools and associated services which can be used by libraries to access remote resources for browsing, searching, and even downloading. They are redefining the concept of collection and collection development and transforming the selection, preservation, communication, and liaison functions in libraries. They are creating a powerful new context for the theory and practice of collection management and requiring librarians to develop new skills, accept new responsibilities, and change their ways of performing various library operations. This paper provides an overview of the potential of networks for better collection development and efficient access to information resources and highlights issues which need to be addressed for effective exploitation of the potential of networked and networkable tools and resources. The paper also suggests strategies for proper adjustment of library work to the new environment focusing on restructuring of collection development functions, redesigning of processing tools, and establishing new roles and relationships for information professionals.

Networked Information Retrieval (NIR) Charter The Networked Information Retrieval Working Group will be a cooperative effort RARE, and the Coalition for Networked Information specifically tasked to http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/proceedings/94mar/charters/nir-charter.html
Extractions: NOTE: This charter is accurate as of the 29th IETF Meeting in Seattle. It may now be out-of-date. (Consider this a "snapshot" of the working group from that meeting.) Up-to-date charters for all active working groups can be found elsewhere in this Web server. As the network has grown, along with it there has been an increase in the number of software tools and applications to navigate the network and make use of the many, varied resources which are part of the network. Within the past year and a half we have seen a wide spread adoption of tools such as the Archie servers, the Wide Area Information Servers (WAIS), the Internet Gopher, and the World Wide Web (WWW). In addition to the acceptance of these tools, there are also diverse efforts to enhance and customize these tools to meet the needs of particular network communities. There are many organizations and associations that have recently begun to focus on the proliferating resources and tools for networked information retrieval (NIR). The Networked Information Retrieval Working Group will be a cooperative effort of three major players in the field of NIR: IETF, RARE, and the Coalition for Networked Information specifically tasked to collect and disseminate information about the tools and to discuss and encourage cooperative development of current and future tools. The NIR Working Group intends to increase the useful base of information about NIR tools, their developers, interested organizations, and other activities that relate to the production, dissemination, and support of NIR tools, to produce documentation that will enable user services organizations to provide better support for NIR tools, to develop materials that will assist the support and training of end users and to evolve in the future as necessary to meet and anticipate changes in the field (i.e., NIR tools, protocols, network topology, etc.).

For more information about the metadata workshop, go to the workshop's homepage) Sponsored by the Office of the Vice President Academic Rising costs and journal cancellations have been with us for at least a decade. This has led to several reports and recommendations. The AUCC released their report, the Changing World of Scholarly Communication in 1996. This followed similar reports from the US and the UK. Perhaps the most descriptive account of "the library problem" comes from To Publish and Perish, a special issue of Policy Perspectives, Pew Higher Education Roundtable. "For two decades the leaders of America's universities and colleges have sought relief from the growing costs of providing access to an ever-expanding volume of scholarly output. What they have learned is that, however straight forward the problem appears, the path to resolution has come to resemble nothing so much as a rumba: two steps forward, three steps back, one to the side, twirl, and repeat."
Extractions: Project supported by new CONTENTdm Multi-Site Server presented at Coalition for Networked Information Task Force Meeting Kenning Arlitsch, Head of Digital Technologies at the University of Utah, and Greg Zick, President of DiMeMa, Inc., presented Digital Collection Cross-Server Sharing: A New Integrated Model and Technology for Building and Accessing Digital Libraries at Multiple Locations in Utah at the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) Task Force Meeting. The presentation is based on the Mountain West Digital Library , a project established by the Utah Academic Library Consortium (UALC) to support and coordinate digitization efforts in Utah and Nevada. The goal of the Library is to put unique materials online in an integrated and seamless manner that will provide a single point of access to geographically distributed collections. To accomplish this, UALC used the CONTENTdm Software Suite and the CONTENTdm Multi-Site Server made by DiMeMa, Inc. Four centers established at the largest universities in Utah were given a mandate to create digital collections and support the efforts of smaller libraries, museums, and historical societies in their geographical areas. The centers provide fee-based scanning and then return digital files to the client institutions which add metadata and upload the files to one of the four centers' CONTENTdm servers. The result is a sustainable model of statewide digital library development based on a flexible, high performance delivery system for diverse and distributed special collection materials.
