********************************
The eLib-funded CATRIONA II project - "researching approaches to the
creation and management of electronic resources in Scottish
universities" - is now entering a phase of its development in which it
will seek to disseminate information to, and obtain feedback from,
relevant sections of the Higher Education community in the U.K.
The purpose of this first e-mail is to draw attention to the project
web pages at: http://catriona2.lib.strath.ac.uk/catriona/
The web pages contain project information, including our annual
report, together with raw data and interim results from surveys of
over 500 academic staff at six Scottish universities. These were
conducted in order to obtain information on:
- the extent to which quality electronic research and teaching
material was being created on Scottish campuses and was accessible
to others
- a range of issues associated with phase two of the project, which
looks at university intentions regarding the provision of
services to deliver such resources on-site and beyond, and at
related issues such as service design, policy, strategy and the
role of the Library
If you are interested in these topics, please bookmark our URL now.
Later communications from us will summarise key results from the
surveys and seek feedback on the development of the demonstrator
resource delivery service, an embryonic version of which is available
at: http://catriona.lib.strath.ac.uk/
The demonstrator is designed to be the Library and, ultimately, also
the Research Park of the Clyde Virtual University project, which aims
to develop and deliver electronic teaching resources to Clydenet
users. It has no direct connection with CATRIONA II or eLib but is
co-operating with us on issues of mutual interest. The URL for CVU
is: http://cvu.strath.ac.uk/
