The end result must be the creation of a prototype able to test all possible aspects of document delivery. This initiative has been supported by the National Conference of University Chief Librarians and grew into a national project. The system has been recognised by the National Conference of University Chief Librarians as the national system for electronic document ordering. Elektron will also establish an electronic document delivery service. The Central Public Library of Leuven is the co-ordinator of three European Libraries' projects.
Information is stored in a tree structure that can be navigated by voice commands.
In the 1997 budget, additional financial means were made available to further develop and co-ordinate this project. The French community of Belgium is currently preparing its Internet Website and it will soon be working. In it, each library will be granted the possibility to build its own site, and all the data related to libraries currently in CD-ROM will be available. Before all libraries are connected into one dedicated library network, they will all have access to the Internet. A budget for the implementation of this project has been dedicated.
