Project announcement: ARNO project started

Overview
The ARNO project (Academic Research in the Netherlands Online) aims to
develop and implement university document servers to make available the
scientific output of participating institutions. The ARNO project is funded
by IWI (Innovation in Scientific Information Supply). Project participants
are the University of Amsterdam, the University of Tilburg and the
University of Twente.

The project continues to build on earlier IWI projects in the area of
electronic publishing and on international initiatives such as "The Open
Archives Initiative".

Goals 
To couple the document servers to international distributed digital
archives and to the Dutch national information infrastructure. 
The infrastructure that will be developed needs to accommodate a coupling
to the production processes of scientific publishers and offer a good basis
for the organisation of peer review, practised by scientists independently
or outsourced to existing publishers. 
The scientific output from the universities need to connect seamlessly to
digital learning environments. 

Project partners
The Library of the University of Amsterdam continues to build on a number
of innovative projects that have been completed in the past few years
through the "EDUBA programme" and the activities recently taken up by its
Digital Production Centre. Among others, the Beta Preprint and Publication
Server, an electronic archive that supports research and communication in
the natural sciences; the Digital Student Library, a digital learning
environment and the publication of electronic journals such as
Contributions to Zoology.

The Library of the University of Tilburg continues to build on the DEGREE
project (Dutch Electronic Grey Files on Economics); the Tilburg Internet
Law Library which includes an republishing component; the publication of
the Electronic Journal of Comparative Law and the DECOMATE project that
offers access in an integrated way to heterogenous, distributed sources in
the area of economics.

The Library of the University of Twente continues to build on the WebDOC
project that offers 50% of the university's output of dissertations and the
electronic material within the digital learning environment Campus+.
