The goal of the Aquarelle project is to provide access to digital catalogues for collection management and scientific studies supported by heterogeneous systems, and to support reuse of this information in new multimedia content. The Vlib-AAC is a prototype of the virtual library concept. New sites can be registered and are categorised by type of organisation, geography and by subject area. This initiative aims to build a national subject portal for and by the Norwegian academic institutions. Sves k is also intended to function as a national bibliography for the Swedish part of the Internet as well as a tool for cataloguing Web resources.
Content is reviewed by a distributed team of specialist topic editors.
The National Library of Australia hosted a working meeting during the first quarter of 2000, bringing together for the first time all Australian subject gateway 'owners'. A full report of the meeting, and other related links, are available from their Web site, and further meetings are planned. The Scout Report is a weekly publication offering a selection of new and newly discovered Internet resources of interest to researchers and educators.
