....could buy storage service from industrial repositories or user institutions in order to avoid training their own specialized personnel. It is not clear that libraries should be the only digital repositories, or even digital repositories at all. Enlarging on such notions, you should consider what [Odlyzko] suggests. Marketplace trends can be exploited to improve how libraries and scholars operate. Finding Information Today s most effective information discovery infrastructure seems to be the catalogs and search engines of the World Wide Web not the catalogues of research libraries. Of course, ....

.... available on the net for world wide access at low cost (Ford, Makedon and Rebelsky, 1995) The cost of production and dissemination of digital publications is also substantially lower than that of paper publications leading to predictions of the demise of paper journals on economic grounds alone (Odlyzko, 1995). The impediments to electronic publication supplanting paper publication are primarily the sociological ones of scholarly communities providing a supporting infrastructure in terms of quality control and well defined publication procedures and long term access guarantees (Gaines, 1995) However, ....

....assurance gatekeepers. However, those authors whose publications are circulated in this way often report that they have received hundreds of critical commentaries, rather than 2 or 3 referees reports, and the quality of the product continually improves as a result of the comments (Floridi, 1995; Odlyzko, 1995). Thus, computer mediated communication should be evaluated not only as improved support for scholarly discourse but also as having the potential to effect radical changes in the scholarly publication process. These changes in the processes of scholarship involve a socio technical system in which ....

Model of Alerting Services in Wide Area Networks Annika Hinze Institute of Computer Science Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany hinze inf.fu berlin.de 1 Introduction Since the number of scientific publications doubles every 10 15 years [8], there is strong need for the use of alerting services. An alerting service keeps the users informed about new documents and events they are interested in. An alerting service can be build on top of a low level event notification service as used for distributed control mechanisms or device ....

There already are techniques to inform users of interesting events instead of forcing them to actively search for the information they need. Since the quantity of scientific publications doubles every 10 15 years [14] there is urgent need for the use of alerting systems. Such systems keep the users informed only about the document and events they are interested in. A variety of techniques and systems exists but every software developer seems to have to find their own solution (e.g. systems base on simple ....

Since the readers do not want to be forced to regularly search for information about new documents, there is strong need for alerting services (AS) An alerting service keeps its clients informed about new documents and events they are interested in. ....

....review On of the criticisms of the peer review mechanism is its lack of transparency (see 5.4.2: Problems with refereeing on page 103) Two main alternatives have been proposed in an on line environment: open peer review, and scholarly skywriting. Open peer review comes in a variety of flavours [Odlyzko, 1994], Peters, 1995] One version suggests that everything that is submitted to a journal should be regarded as published, but with open peer review providing an ongoing ranking process [Nadasdy, 1997] This would provide for a wider assessment of the quality (and hence status) of an article. One ....

....came up with some news: Oh, this might be interesting for you . She knew which field you are working in, your specific topics of interest, the papers that may concern you. These times will never come back, simply because the quantity of scientific publications doubles every 10 15 years [8]. This means that the number of publications written from the very beginning until 1985 is roughly the same as the number of publications since 1985 until now. What is happening In the times of the World Wide Web, one had to navigate through different places on their own. When searching for ....

....our field of science. 10. A Vision of Electronic Prepublishing In the past few years, Steven Harnad (Princeton) has developed a special view of electronic publishing [Harnad 90] Harnad 94] which has been proposed by Andrew Odlyzko (AMS, AT T) in a similar form for mathematical publishing [Odlyzko 93] and which is of particular importance to us as well. Both authors regard the traditional publication process as extremely slow and expensive and predict that it will be revolutionized in the near future (say, in the next 5 to 10 years) They point out that today the technical means for a ....

....of redundant distributed databases. Similar issues are discussed in [1] and both papers cite Rabin s work [14] which introduced the idea of coding based redundancy to the database community. He in turn recognizes the earlier related work [5] Odlyzko is also interested in perpetual storage [12], where his focus is on preservation of and access to research literature. The redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID) approach [13] distributes a file system over an array of disks directly attached to a host computer. Redundancy is provided by variations of a simple parity approach. Further ....

Digital libraries incorporating ACI can help to organize the literature, and may significantly improve the efficiency of scientific dissemination and feedback. The transition to scholarly electronic publishing has been slow [10]. ACI may help to speed up this transition. For example, having a widely freely available linked network of the literature may encourage scientists to pursue publi11 cation avenues that make their work available in the online network as quickly as possible (and therefore be more likely to be seen, ....

There have been arguments that pay per view schemes in pricing of electronic scholarly journals would offer advantages to publishers and readers [ChuangS] However, the overwhelming trend is towards subscription fees, bundling, and consortium licensing, as was predicted in [FishburnOS, Odlyzko1], for example. There is now extensive experience, including results from the carefully conducted PEAK experiment [GazzaleMKM] which tested a variety of pricing plans. 82 One of the principal finding was that metering access to electronic information drastically decreases usage.
