Networking Library Services: Experience With The Electronic Library Store, Richard Widdicombe Nov 2012

Networking Library Services: Experience With The Electronic Library Store, Richard Widdicombe

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

In 1993, when the library at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ became the first to stop all journal subscriptions there was fear among the faculty and intrigue in the library community world-wide. Three years later, we can demonstrate an enormous success in changing the library role and perception with its user community. Information delivery, in many ways, is far superior to the warehouse model of the past. The emergence of Web technology has also helped advance the goals of our "electronic library model." We shall outline the steps taken, the positive effect it had on our user community …

Information As A Revenue-Generating Commodity In The Context Of Malaysia, Rosna Taib Nov 2012

Information As A Revenue-Generating Commodity In The Context Of Malaysia, Rosna Taib

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

In a knowledge-based society, there is a demand for information. University libraries with their vast resources could meet this demand and in certain situations create the demand for information. In Malaysia which aspires to be an industrialized nation by the year 2020, many university and research libraries have responded to this growing demand. Eight of the universities and institutions of higher learning which have been fully subsidized by the Government in the past will be corporatized in 1996. The reasons for corporatization are many, among them to allow flexibility in the management of the institutions, including finance. The library, being …

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

IDEAL, the International Digital Electronic Access Library, is a developmental project of Academic Press that aims to exploit the Internet to greatly expand and improve access to scientific journals. Through licensing agreements with academic or industrial networks, IDEAL brings research journals directly to the end users' digital desktops. IDEAL uses an efficient no-nonsense approach based on an open non-proprietary modular architecture. Starting with the complete 1996 issues of 175 Academic Press journals (and some 1995 issues), an average of over 2000 articles are added every month. Other publishers are being invited to join in the project. To create this IDEAL …

Lessons Learned From Martindale's Www Reference Projects, Jim Martindale Nov 2012

Lessons Learned From Martindale's Www Reference Projects, Jim Martindale

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The Martindale Homepage Project was initiated two years ago to explore what curriculum aids and research were being mounted on the web. Soon, it became clear that there was sufficient information to establish a virtual library that could support a medicl school curriculum, and specialized medical, dental, veterinary, nursing, nutrition, public health, agriculture and medical law reference sources. Martindale's Health Science Guide is a "multimedia specialized information resource" currently containing over 19,600 teaching files over 29,300 Medical Cases, 342 courses/textbooks, 1000s of graphic displays and over 5,200 (MPEG's) movies. The "Graduate & Undergraduate Center" for major science disciplines is another …

From Stm Publishing To Digital Libraries: Scientific And Technical Communication In The Evolving Networked Information Environment, Clifford Lynch

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This talk will discuss early experiences and perspectives on scientific publishing in the networked information environment. Both the migration of traditional publishing vehicles to networked delivery and the development of network-based forms of communication will be explored. I will also consider some of the infrastructure requirements that are necessary to support the transition to the networked world.

After 2000 Years Of Paper-Based Publishing, What's Next?, Matthew Loeb, Bill Sanders

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

At IEEE Computer Society Press, a medium-sized provider of published information delivered in the form of books, magazines, journals and conference proceedings, we are seeking answers to the question: after 2000 years of paper-based publishing, what's next? We discuss our efforts to meet the differing requirements of end-users of information: individuals, libraries, conference organizers and attendees. Our experiences and future plans for publishing with respect to paper, CD-ROM, Internet/WWW, and digital libraries are discussed.
