Chris: I read your message with great interest, because dissemination of eLib project results is, as you suggest, (a) crucial, (b) difficult, especially for 'disseminatees'. Some projects have a high profile already, but many (most?) are little known or invisible to the rank & file. It might be instructive to look at the question from the other side of the equation, from the point of view of the 'disseminatee'. We in Swansea have given some thought very recently to the best way of informing ourselves about eLib in a more systematic way than up to now. Our approach will be to assign the different programme areas to specific (relevant) staff (more than one in some cases), whose job will be to monitor developments in the appropriate projects, keep up to date, inform Library staff of relevant info (informally and via formal staff training & development sessions), and recommend action. Perhaps eLib should be considering this and other possible approaches? (The problem isn't confined to eLib, of course, but extends to any large-scale national initiative, eg TLTP.)
