Web Editorial: Introduction to Issue 18

editor — Sat, 19 Dec 1998 00:00:00 +0000

The web editors, Bernadette Daly and Philip Hunter, introduce Ariadne issue 18.

This is sadly the last of the parallel print and web publication of Ariadne - for the moment, at least. Ariadne will however continue as a web magazine. The print edition has finished in some style, with a publication twice the size of all earlier copies. Attendees at the eLib "Information Ecologies" conference in York earlier this month already know this, since we arranged for advance copies to be available for that event. The Web version is correspondingly large, as might be expected, though it doesn't quite rival the scale of the web version of issue 5.

Lyndon Pugh presents the editorial from issue 18 of Ariadne's print version.

At the end of three years of regular appearances of Ariadne, we publish our final issue. The funding provided by JISC via elib for an initial two years, which was extended to a third, finally came to an end this year. Despite the efforts of the Ariadne Project Board to secure further JISC funding, it was decided that Ariadne was too expensive, and funding must cease.

Looking Back in Anger: A Retrospective

editor — Sat, 19 Dec 1998 00:00:00 +0000

Don Revill, former Head of Information Services at Liverpool John Moores University, offers a retrospective.

Having read recent government reports, and returning now to the position of being a mere user contemplating a forty four year career in education for librarianship, libraries and (one must now add) information services, it strikes me that little has changed over the years. The problems the profession faced in the 50s and 60s are still with us.
