The ERCIM technical reference digital library

Within the context of the DELOS1 Working Group, eight institutions of the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) are currently collaborating on the installation of an ERCIM Technical Reference Digital Library (ETRDL). The aim is to implement and test a prototype infrastructure for networked access to a distributed multi-format collection of technical documents produced by ERCIM members. The collection is managed by a set of interoperating servers, based on the Dienst system developed by a US consortium led by Cornell University and adopted by NCSTRL (Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library). Pilot server sites have already been set up at half of the 14 ERCIM national labs. Servers are expected to be installed at the other centres soon. The aim is to assist ERCIM scientists to make their research results immediately available world-wide and provide them with appropriate on-line facilities to access the technical documentation of others working in the same field. Public access to this reference service is provided through Internet.
