Charge to the Working Group on Digital Library Architecture
The Working Group is charged with the development of some models
for the delivery of commercially available indexes and content, to explicate
advantages and disadvantages of each, and to describe what other institutions
and consortia are doing in terms of these models. The WG should focus on
citation databases (e.g. IAC or FirstSearch), ejournal collections (e.g.
Elsevier or Kluwer) and other commercial resources. However the WG should
keep the needs of non-commercial resources, including locally digitized
collections, in mind as a factor in this evaluation. The results of this
analysis should be summarized in a report to be presented at the Joint
Meeting.
