Note: "eLib" is not a typing mistake; the lower-case e and upper-case L form the identity of the acronym.

This section contains recent reviews/descriptions of eLib projects, from the people who work on them. In this issue you can read submissions from:

Formations: Dan Fleming, co-director of the eLib 'Formations' project and lecturer in media studies at the University of Ulster, looks at some of the issues involved in adding value to a pre-prints system by using groupware such as Lotus Notes.
NewsAgent for Librarians: Mark Kerr, research assistant on the NewsAgent for Libraries project, describes a project to build a news and current awareness aervice for the LIS community.
HELIX: Ruth Glynn outlines the HELIX project, one of the new Images projects from the eLib programme.
SKIP: Penny Garrod and Ivan Sidgreaves describe a training and awareness project at the University of Plymouth.
Open Journals: Steve Hitchcock describes the Open Journals project. This involves the use of an innovative approach to handling the hyperlinks between Web-based resources, which could have significant implications for on-line journals and publishing.

eLib column: Kelly Russell, the assistant co-ordinator of the eLib programme, with a few words on how the project (and the programme as a whole) can be reflected in terms of success and/or failure.
