In October 1998, the British Library Research and Innovation Centre
issued an invitation to tender for a Review of Digital Library
Research. A contract to carry out the Review was awarded to a team
led by Professor Peter Brophy of CERLIM at the Manchester Metropolitan
University. The review will be finished by 30 June 1999 and its
findings will be published in the next few months.
The main aim of this work has been to inform the development of a call
for proposals into further research in the area of digital library
research. The Library and Information Commission is now giving advance
notice that it plans to encourage such proposals as part of the
second, targeted call announced in the Library and Information
Research Plan 1999-2002 which it has produced.
The Call is expected to cover several research themes within the area
of digital library research and will be announced in early August. The
closing date is planned for late October 1999.
The LIC will issue further details about the report when they become
available.
