Aquatic Commons Initiative: a model for resource sharing in marine and aquatic sciences in marine and aquatic sciences

摘要

The International Association of Aquatic and Marine Science Libraries and Information Centers (IAMSLIC) is a global non-profit organization that provides a forum for discussion of information issues related to marine and aquatic science. During the last ten years, its members have developed resource sharing mechanisms that support research throughout the world. With an existing Z39.50 Distributed Library that supports interlibrary loan functions, a more comprehensive integrative Aquatic Commons model was developed to address the need for and growth of repositories and harvesters. This presentation will discuss the model and the development of the E-prints Aquatic Commons repository. (20ppt)
