ICSTI SURVEY
Digital Electronic Archiving Projects
February 9, 1999

At the ICSTI Winter Meeting in London, the membership approved a study to
identify the leading, cutting-edge projects in the area of digital electronic
archiving.  The membership is particularly interested in those projects that
can contribute to the identification of innovative models and possible best
practices.  The study is limited to scientific and technical information, but
is not limited by format or media.  As part of the study, we are surveying the
ICSTI membership to identify relevant projects at ICSTI organizations and
elsewhere for additional follow-up investigation.  Projects identified through
this survey, through a review of the literature, and from expert contacts will
be reviewed and analyzed in a report to be presented to the ICSTI members at
the May 1999 meeting.


PLEASE COMPLETE THIS SURVEY AND RETURN VIA E-MAIL TO GAIL HODGE AT
GAILHODGE@AOL.COM OR BY FAX TO GAIL HODGE AT 423/481-0390 BY 15 FEBRUARY 1999.
