Abstract

This report describes an EC funded project which has the objective of providing transnational access to CD-ROM databases using a high bandwidth network link between three universities: The Queen's University of Belfast, University College Dublin, and the University of Ulster. The paper touches on the technical aspects of the project but focuses on the identification of suitable databases, the negotiation with publishers and distributors, and the service, managerial and support aspects of the project.
