Copyright Issues in Digital Media, US Congressional Budget Office, August 2004.
From the Preface to the Report: "This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) paper reviews current copyright law in the United States and considers the unique aspects of digital technology's challenge to that law. It also examines the prospects for a market-based resolution to copyright disputes over digital content and explores the effect of potential revisions to copyright law on economic efficiency and equity. While this analysis suggests some issues and concerns that the Congress may wish to consider during its deliberations about any changes in copyright law, in keeping with CBO's mandate to provide objective, impartial analysis, the paper makes no policy recommendations."
The report is presented in six sections. The first section is at <http://www.cbo.gov/showdoc.cfm?index=5738&sequence=0> and provides links to the other sections. The report is available in HTML and PDF formats.
Scientific publications: Free for all?, Tenth Report of Session 2003-04, House of Commons Science and Technology Committee, United Kingdom, 20 July 2004.
From the Summary to the Report: "This Report recommends that all UK higher education institutions establish institutional repositories on which their published output can be stored and from which it can be read, free of charge, online. It also recommends that Research Councils and other Government funders mandate their funded researchers to deposit a copy of all of their articles in this way. The Government will need to appoint a central body to oversee the implementation of the repositories; to help with networking; and to ensure compliance with the technical standards needed to provide maximum functionality. Set-up and running costs are relatively low, making institutional repositories a cost-effective way of improving access to scientific publications."

Guidelines for Implementing and Maintaining Virtual Reference Services, Prepared by the MARS Digital Reference Guidelines Ad Hoc Committee, Reference and User Services Association (RUSA), 2004. Approved by the RUSA Board of Directors June 2004.
From the "Introduction" to the Guidelines: "The purpose of these guidelines is to assist libraries and consortia with implementing and maintaining virtual reference services. The guidelines are meant to provide direction, without being over-prescriptive. Variance among institutions will result in differences in the adherence to these guidelines, but the committee hopes to have cast the model broadly enough to provide a framework for virtual reference which can be widely adopted and which will endure through many changes in the ways in which libraries provide virtual reference services."

Recognizing Digitization as a Preservation Reformatting Method, Prepared for the ARL Preservation of Research Library Materials Committee by Kathleen Arthur, Head, Replacement & Reformatting, University of Chicago; Sherry Byrne, Preservation Librarian, University of Chicago; Elisabeth Long, Co-Director, Digital Library Development Center, University of Chicago; Carla Q. Montori, Head, Preservation Division, University of Michigan; and Judith Nadler, Associate Director, University of Chicago. Published June 2004.
In this report: "The Association of Research Libraries endorses digitization as an accepted preservation reformatting option for a range of materials. ARL encourages its members and others engaged in digital reformatting and those interested in initiating these activities to make an organizational and economic commitment to adhere to accepted standards and best practices, and to establish policies and the capacity to maintain digital products for the long-term. ARL calls on the community of federal grants agencies, private foundations, and grants reviewers and panelists to give equal support to proposals that incorporate digital reformatting for preservation when these conditions are met."

Elements of Quality Online Education: Into the Mainstream , Executive Summary, edited by John Bourne & Janet C. Moore, published by the Sloan Consortium, Volume 5 in the Sloan-C Series, 2004.
From the Introduction to the Executive Summary: "The studies in this volume suggest many ways that higher education envisions the future. In times of "profound, rapid, and discontinuous change" [ii], what does it take to solve the challenges of online, blended and face-to-face education in higher education? Certainly, as the summer research workshops demonstrate, a clear case is made for collaboration among institutions. Further, online collaboration can greatly exceed what is traditionally accomplished through ad hoc exchanges in face-to-face conferences and workshops. Thus, each year, Sloan-C expands the summer research workshop to online research workshops so that people can develop thinking and make collaboration really work."

Web Harvesting Survey, by Jennifer Marill, Andrew Boyko, and Michael Ashenfelder, netpreserve.org, International Internet Preservation Consortium, Version 1, July 2004.
"The Metrics and Testbed Working Group of the IIPC conducted a survey which is an attempt to identify and classify many of the general conditions found on Web sites that influence the harvesting of content and the quality of an archival crawl....It is intended to provide a high-level overview of common Web crawling conditions, roughly prioritized by their significance, as background information for institutions beginning to engage in web harvesting. We also offer examples of the various issues, and characterize in which of the several phases of the harvesting process the described problems can occur. A complementary document, Test Bed Taxonomy, more completely describes web harvesting issues at a level of detail that will lead to implementation of an IIPC harvesting test bed."
