*****************
I would like to alert appropriate libraries to the
launch of the CURL-RIN Challenge Fund for Copac <http://copac.ac.uk/>.
The Consortium of Research Libraries (CURL) <http://www.curl.ac.uk/> and
the Research Information Network (RIN) <http://www.rin.ac.uk/> recognise
the importance of facilitating the discovery of the widest possible
range of research materials for the UK research community, as simply as
possible. We believe that through encouraging libraries to expose their
holdings for this purpose, and providing practical support to enable
this, benefits can be quickly delivered to research institutions and
researchers alike.
CURL and the RIN have therefore jointly contributed to a 'Challenge
Fund' to enhance Copac by significantly extending the range of research
material it covers. The Fund is being launched as an open call to
libraries with relevant holdings to apply for inclusion in Copac.
Details of the Challenge Fund can be found at:

With very best wishes,
Mike
