    Subject: Background references for URC  issues

Folks,

The following are references I cited as background information in my remarks
at the URI meeting in San Jose last week. In addition, I added one that Erik
Jul brought to my attention that may be of interest.

If you are interested but cannot get these from your local library, let me
know and I'll see what I can do.

I'll also be happy to post my notes from my talk if anyone would like to see them.

control? American Libraries 25, no. 7: 629-632.

A good overview of what librarianship has traditionally brought to the
management of information, including issues of description and access,
and how these same capabilities are necessary for information in
electronic format accessible via wide-area computer networks.
