Apologies for cross posting The delayed January 2001 edition of the DLF Newsletter is now available from http://www.clir.org/diglib/pubs/news02_01/index.htm The edition includes updates on developments at the California Digital Library, Cornell University, Harvard University, the Library of Congress, University of Michigan, and a new report from the University of Southern California. The edition also includes a report from the DLF Office of the Director. The report documents progress with ongoing DLF initiatives (e.g. Open Archives Initiatives, AIC/ArtSTOR, reference linking, review of best practice recommendations) while introducing a number of new DLF initiatives including: - to design and possibly prototype a cataloguing tool for visual resources, - to design and possibly prototype a service to register digitized monographs and journals; - to develop standards for describing technical, structural, and administrative characteristics of digital objects; - to investigate changing patterns of library use.
