She commented that JISC has pushed a program featuring information and its management as well as strategies for service delivery. She noted that through membership in CNI's Task Force and contact over the past few years, JISC had been influenced by CNI in the development of its program. Paul Evan Peters, Executive Director, Coalition for Networked Information, also welcomed the attendees and called for those present to ensure the building of an infrastructure that serves the needs of global science and scholarship.

64. ARL / CAUSE / EDUCOM Coalition For Networked Information CALL FOR ARL / CAUSE / EDUCOM Coalition for Networked Information CALL FOR INPUT COALITION 1994, the Coalition for Networked Information launched a new research http://www.sigir.org/conferences/input.txt

ARL / CAUSE / EDUCOM Coalition for Networked Information CALL FOR INPUT: COALITION NIDR INITIATIVE INTRODUCTION On October 1, 1994, the Coalition for Networked Information launched a new research initiative to explore architectures and standards for advancing networked information discovery and retrieval (NIDR) in highly distributed heterogeneous environments. Avra Michelson of The MITRE Corporation will be available full time during the next year to work on this project in conjunction with Clifford Lynch, University of California Office of the President and Craig Summerhill, Systems Coordinator at the Coalition. Cecilia Preston will serve as the project's research associate. The team will author a white paper on NIDR technologies and their relationship to existing and future networked data architectures, standards, and structures. BASIC APPROACH Among the reasons the Coalition envisions a need for this paper are: o to explore the suitability of existing networked information discovery and retrieval methods for handling large digital libraries, o to provide a cross-domain examination of the technical and information management issues involved in the development of robust information retrieval systems that are designed to handle large volumes of production digital data, o to develop a research (and hopefully development) agenda that can be used to advance NIDR work, and o to strengthen the theoretical foundations that currently inform standards and tools development. The white paper will focus on technical as opposed to policy issues. The scope will be limited to exploring problems associated with identifying, selecting, and retrieving resources and objects in a large distributed network. These problems include classic information retrieval issues, as well as new sets of issues related to performance management and retrieval in the distributed environment, the support of complex multimedia objects, large data archives, in addition to those posed by traditional text-based information resources. Metadata, loosely defined as "information about information" is one of the basic unifying concepts and tools that can be used for improving networked information retrieval. One of the goals for the white paper will be to establish a theoretical framework for considering the relationship between metadata structures and content, the organization of network objects, and NIDR within a distributed environment. The authors will consider these issues from the Internet perspective assuming that resources are available both for free and fee and can be both public and access-controlled. A CALL FOR INPUT The Coalition anticipates that an initial draft of the paper will be released for public comment in April 1995. Prior to that time the authors seek suggestions from the Coalition membership and the larger network community on sources, projects, and scholarship related to the scope of this research initiative. Comments and suggestions may be submitted to the entire project team via e-mail using a mail reflector designed especially for the public- input portion of the project. By using the e-mail address below, the project team will receive your input. These submissions for consideration will be reviewed by the entire project team, and the sender(s) will be contacted for additional information as needed. To communicate with the project team send your e-mail to: nidrcall@cni.org NOTE: this is not a discussion list, so we will not be accepting requests for subscription to this list. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION Alternately, Avra Michelson, the initiative's full-time investigator, may be contacted via voice at 703-883-6379, or via e-mail at: avram@mitre.org ABOUT THE COALITION The Coalition for Networked Information was founded in March 1990 to help realize the promise of high performance networks and computers for the advancement of scholarship and the enrichment of intellectual productivity. The Coalition is a partnership of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), CAUSE, and EDUCOM. The Coalition pursues its mission with the assistance of a task force of over two-hundred institutions and organizations that provides focus and resources which are crucial to the ability of the Coalition to articulate and explore shared visions of how information management must change in the 1990s to meet the social and economic opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. Members of the Coalition Task Force include higher education institutions, publishers, network service providers, computer hardware, software, and systems companies, library networks and organizations, and public and state libraries.

November 17-19Call for Participation: "New Learning Communities" Conference The Coalition for Networked Information is pleased to announce that it has received a grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Title IIB program to assist with funding the second year of its New Learning Communities initiative. The Coalition will offer a program consisting of three components that encompass a total of five days of face-to- face interaction and several months or longer of online interaction. The centerpiece of the program is a three-day conference based on the successful New Learning Communities conference that the Coalition offered last year. Following on this year's three day program, two other events will be used to disseminate the lessons learned from the events of both years and to stimulate additional institutions to develop similar curricular projects. All three events will emphasize the role of networked information (content), not just networks (conduit), and the expertise of the librarian as a team member in developing new or revised curriculum. Participation in the three-day conference will be invitational. Institutional teams will be selected from respondents to the Call posted below. The second and third events in the program will be open registration conferences.

Site for Internet User Education Materials: Call for Participation The Coalition for Networked Information and the Association of College and Research Libraries Instruction Section (ACRL-IS) are interested in identifying a site to develop a virtual collection of Internet user education and training materials. An institution or set of institutions will be selected to: identify exemplary user education and training materials related to the Internet and networked information resources, especially those materials which integrate print and electronic resources and teach evaluation of networked resources develop a mechanism for bringing those items together in a distributed environment, e.g., via a Web page encourage authors of exemplary materials that are not available on the Internet to mount them on a server or to provide that service for them as a repository of last resort The institution(s) chosen to implement this project would select materials with the assistance of a subcommittee of ACRL-IS, which would develop a set of selection criteria. Instructional materials would include texts, course materials, syllabi, workbooks, self-instructional materials, and bibliographies. Upon selection as the implementation site, the institution will have one month to develop an implementation plan for review by ACRL and CNI, who will also provide consultation during this period.

Background In January 1993 as part of ACRL President Elect Tom Kirk's presidential theme of networking and supported by a $4000 grant to ACRL from the Coalition for Networked Information, the Emerging Technologies in Instruction Committee of BIS was asked to undertake the following project: To identify the most appropriate and effective means for librarians to design and disseminate instruction materials for teaching the academic and research community about information seeking information sharing, and information evaluation in the networked environment presented by the Internet. In June 1993 the Emerging Technologies in Instruction Committee, on behalf of the Bibliographic Instruction Section, began work on this project to foster effective strategies for instructing users in the networked information environment. First Steps In the first phase of this project, the committee solicited and received considerable input from academic librarians through listservs and BIS meetings on current instructional activities and both current and future needs. Preliminary analysis of responses indicated three general areas of concern: Direct instructional support, connectivity and collaboration, and institutional support.

About IMS Background Collaborations Affiliates ... RSS Feed IMS forms alliance with Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) Collaboration to further interoperability in digital libraries and learning object repositories Burlington, Mass. - March 13, 2003 - IMS Global Learning Consortium (IMS) today announced a working alliance between IMS and CNI to explore the development of common architectural and functional models leading to joint specifications and improved technical interoperability in the rapidly evolving areas of digital libraries and learning object repositories. Professor Neil McLean, Director of IMS Australia and a member of the IMS Board of Directors, is leading the initiative on behalf of IMS. He said, "The reaching out to the library community and to all those involved in digital asset management within institutions marks an important milestone in the evolution of IMS. CNI, which brings together the information technology and library communities, is an ideal partner for this effort." Neil McLean went on to say, " The recently released IMS Digital Repository Interoperability Specification version 1.0 provides an excellent framework for the consultation exercise and it should provide a platform for further technical specifications." Dr. Clifford Lynch, Executive Director of CNI, observed, "This is a very timely collaboration as higher education institutions try to sort through both the technical and organizational challenges of a landscape that is being transformed by new developments such as learning management systems and institutional repositories. The portfolio of IMS standards, and the architectural work that they have advanced over the last few years will be an essential basis for addressing these challenges."

WHEN: April 21, 3-4 p.m. WHERE: 501 IS Building, School of Information Sciences, University of Pittsburgh. Abstract : Recent evidence shows that Google is increasingly the primary information discovery tool for the general public and more specialized audiences such as students, researchers, and educators. In this "age of google" it is critical that digital libraries offer more than a simple "find it and access it" paradigm. The relevance of projects like the NSDL must be evaluated in this context. This talk will describe work within the NSDL on an information network overlay architecture, which is a framework for contextualizing, interrelating, and reusing information. We argue that such contextualization is critical for the utility of digital libraries for education and a variety of other purposes.

Open Archives Initiative Appoints Steering Committee Washington, D.C.—The Open Archives Initiative (OAi) has established a steering committee to guide its development and promote its adoption as an enabling framework for the development of innovative networked information services. In addition, the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) and the Digital Library Federation (DLF) have agreed jointly to supply some organized support and resources for the ongoing OAi effort. Santa Fe convention ," along with preliminary ideas about acceptable use policies, registries, and other issues. A subsequent workshop, held in conjunction with the ACM Digital Libraries meeting in San Antonio in June 2000, reviewed experiences in implementing the Santa Fe convention and mapped out issues that needed to be addressed. Out of that meeting came a consensus that the Santa Fe convention will be revised and updated with the intent of producing a new version of the document by January 2001. The newly established steering committee will oversee these efforts and will assemble technical experts as required. In addition, there is considerable interest in extending the concepts developed at the Santa Fe convention beyond their initial context in order to support metadata harvesting for a wider range of digital resources of academic and scholarly interest. Besides e-prints and electronic texts, such resources include science and social science data sets, visual materials, archival collections, geographic information system data, sound and music, and video. This work is being pursued under the auspices of the DLF, with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Unlike the project involving the e-print archives, this effort is still highly experimental and requires validation through implementation experience. The steering committee will also help to guide the integration of this effort into the further evolution of the Santa Fe convention.
