> Since 1995 the UK Higher Education Joint Information Systems Committee
> (JISC) has funded more than 60 projects through the Electronic
> Libraries
> Programme (eLib). These projects aim to shape the development of the
> electronic library through a programme of action-based research and
> include
> a variety of approaches, culminating in the hybrid library and
> 'clumps'
> projects which began in January 1998. The home page for eLib can be
> found
> at http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/services/elib/
>
> More than twenty supporting studies have also been funded as an
> integral
> part of eLib. These were commissioned in three thematic strands:
> studies in
> digital preservation, evaluation and impact studies and general
> studies
> which include copyright guidelines and some project final reports.
> They
> have worked towards defining notions of best practice within the
> electronic
> library and provide considerable insight into digital library
> developments
> in the future. A full list of these is available at
> http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/services/elib/papers/supporting/
>
> The study reports which deal with digital preservation will be of
> interest
> to information professionals in all sectors. They include a
> recently-published report by Seamus Ross and Ann Gow which "examines
> the
> approaches to accessing digital materials where the media has become
> damaged... or where the hardware or software is no longer available or
> unknown". The full list of digital preservation titles available is:
