JEDDS: Joint Electronic Document Delivery Software Project JEDDS ( the Joint Electronic Document Delivery Software) was created to develop electronic document delivery software which would give users greatly increased access to electronic information. The JEDDS partners agreed to jointly develop document delivery software which had an e-mail MIME compliant delivery system. The JEDDS partners have been working with the Research Libraries Group (RLG), based in California, to enhance Ariel software [tm] for Windows. http://jedds.mcc.ac.uk/ http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/services/elib/projects/jedds/ 2000-10-31

CTI Centre for Textual Studies The Computers in Teaching Initiative (CTI) Centre for Textual Studies was established in October 1989 as one of twenty-one subject-specific Centres to promote and support the use of computers in university teaching. The CTI Centres now number twenty-four and are a joint programme of the Department of Education in Northern Ireland and the Higher Education Funding Councils of England, Scotland, and Wales with funding in principle until July 1999. The services of the CTI Centre for Textual Studies are available to institutions funded by these bodies. The Centre finally closes at the end of June, when it hands over to the LTSN English Centre.

Agriculture Network Information Center AgNIC The Agriculture Network Information Center (AgNIC) is a voluntary alliance of the National Agricultural Library (NAL), land-grant universities and other agricultural organizations, in cooperation with citizen groups and government agencies. AgNIC focuses on providing agricultural information in electronic format over the World Wide Web via the Internet. One of the objectives of AgNIC is that member participants take responsibility for small vertical segments of agricultural information (including basic, applied, and developmental research, extension, and teaching activities in the food, agricultural, renewable natural resources, forestry, and physical and social sciences) and develop Web sites and reference services in specific subject areas. The collective AgNIC Web resource will benefit all members in ways that they cannot achieve on their own, thus justifying the local costs of participation. Each official institutional member of AgNIC commits to certain activities in support of the Alliance and its work (see description below). Includes the AgNIC information gateway. http://www.agnic.org/ http://www.cornell.agnic.org/agnic/about/index.html 2000-10-31
