This thorough, concise and timely report provides an excellent summary of
the challenges and opportunities presented by the networked information
environment for providing integrated global access to our shared cultural

RLG's cultural materials initiative, announced last week, aims to address
many of the issues outlined in the report. The announcement, and a fuller
description of the goals of the initiative, are now available on RLG's
