Steve Griffin’s 18 Sep 2000 Greetings Ed,
Thanks. Yes, I'm sorry to be missing such a great meeting.
While I don't have any slides, I think it's important for the group to hear that the IIS Division and DLI is putting a very high priority on establishing new international collaborative efforts and we hope to steadily increase our investment in this area in FY2001 and beyond. We look forward to continuing our joint sponsorship of activities with UK/JISC and the Germany/DFG. We are also looking forward to a coordinated call for proposals with EC (DG XIII/E-2 "Cultural Heritage Applications") in Jan 2001 per Bernard's message to Jose last week.
Steve

What are the long term goals?
Educating ALL future scholars: epub expressively for, submit to, and effectively use digital libraries (i.e., become Information Literate)
Millions of students / year exposed / involved > 200K/yr rich hypermedia ETDs that may turn into
electronic portfolios (images, video, data, …) Dramatic increase in knowledge sharing: literature
reviews, bibliographies, … Services providing lifelong access for students: browse,
search, prior searches, citation links Hundreds/thousands of downloads / year / work Thousands of universities with DL projects
ETDs: Library Goals
Improve library services–Better turn-around time –Always available
Reduce work –catalog from e-text –eliminate handling: mailing to UMI,
bindery prep, check-out, check-in, reshelving, etc.
Save space and save money
