Developing an Agenda for Institutional E-Print Archives

editor — Tue, 02 Oct 2001 23:00:00 +0000

Philip Hunter, John MacColl and Marieke Napier report on a one day Open Archives conference on OAI compliant metadata and e-print issues. Held at the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, London. 11 July 2001.

A one day Open Archives event co-ordinated by the DNER, CURL and UKOLN was held on Wednesday 11th July at the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, Birdcage Walk, London. Birdcage walk is in a very impressive part of London, circumscribed by Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and the Houses of Parliament. Lucky for us the hot sun added to the splendor of the location.

The Future Is Hybrid: Edinburgh

editor — Fri, 23 Mar 2001 00:00:00 +0000

John MacColl and Philip Hunter report on 'The Future is Hybrid' project day in Edinburgh.

This 1-day conference was the third in a series of events organised by the Hybrid Libraries projects funded by JISC via the eLib Programme, and supported by the DNER. The prior two events had been held at the British Library, in November 2000, and Manchester Metropolitan University, in the previous week.

Editorial Introduction to Issue 25: Beyond the Web Site

editor — Sat, 23 Sep 2000 23:00:00 +0000

Philip Hunter on the contents of Ariadne issue 25 and recent developments in the world of Digital Library initiatives.

The Higher Education (HE) community interest in information technology remains very much the same as it was when the web first appeared: networked access to high quality (and quality assured) information resources. Current activities in the UK (the RDN, the DNER, HERO, etc) are logical developments of these core interests.

Editorial Introduction to Issue 24: Plumbing the Digital Library

Philip Hunter introduces Ariadne 24.

Lorcan Dempsey Farewell

Lorcan Dempsey, Director of UKOLN for the past six years, has recently moved up to head the newly constituted DNER (the Distributed National Electronic Resource), and is now based in London. This is UKOLN's loss, but a great plus for the DNER. Ray Lester, head of UKOLN's management committee, points out that Lorcan:

Library Resource Sharing and Discovery: Catalogues for the 21st Century

editor — Thu, 22 Jun 2000 23:00:00 +0000

Ariadne reports on the highlights of the recent Glasgow CLUMPS one day conference

This article is supplementary to the issue 23 report on the CLUMPS event at Goldsmiths College in March this year, and perhaps should be read in conjunction with both that report and Peter Stubley's article on 'What have the CLUMPS ever done for us?' in the same issue. Details of presentations which were broadly similar to those given at Goldsmiths are not repeated here, but can be found in the Ariadne 23 report.

Editorial Introduction to Issue 23: Ariadne's Thread

editor — Thu, 23 Mar 2000 00:00:00 +0000

Philip Hunter introduces Ariadne issue 23.

Readers of this issue may have arrived expecting to read an article on the forthcoming DNER service; an article which was heavily trailed in issue 22. My apologies to you if you are among them. However, the pace of development of the DNER over the past few months has been so great that we decided, late in the editorial process, to postpone the publication of an article on the subject until issue 24. This is also in the interests of accuracy and detail.

Catalogues for the 21st Century

Ariadne reports on a one-day Workshop presented by the eLib Clump Projects at Goldsmiths College in London on the 3rd of March

Last year's CLUMPS meeting took place in a large purpose built lecture theatre in the new British Library building at St Pancras. This was very handy for those of us arriving from Bath, since it is only 3 tube stops or so from Paddington to St Pancras/Kings Cross. This year the meeting is split into two events, and the first of these was arranged to happen at Goldsmiths College at New Cross in South East London. This is way out east for those coming from way out west (though amazingly still in zone 2).

Editorial Introduction to Issue 21: Ariadne's Thread

editor — Wed, 22 Sep 1999 23:00:00 +0000

Introduction to Ariadne issue 21 by Philip Hunter.

This is the twenty first issue of Ariadne. Our first issue was published in January 1996, under the editorship of John Kirriemuir. Twenty one issues is not exactly a birthday, but nevertheless a significant milestone: I'm reasonably sure that when the idea of a web magazine was first floated in 1995, it was not imagined that it would still be around five years later.

Editorial Introduction to Ariadne Issue 20

editor — Mon, 21 Jun 1999 23:00:00 +0000

Philip Hunter introduces Ariadne issue 20.

Welcome to the newly redesigned Ariadne. The new interface was created to improve the appearance of Ariadne both on screen and when printed: the latter is particularly important now that Ariadne is published only in electronic format (since issue 19). The old 1996 design was generally very servicable from the point of view of structure and navigation, but it had a number of features which, with the benefit of twenty-twenty hindsight, introduced un-necessary complications to the editorial process: these have now been redesigned.

Newsline: News You Can Use
