Background
Music Libraries Online received three years funding as part of the Joint Information Systems Committee's (JISC) Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib) phase 3. The aims of the project were:
- the creation of a virtual union catalogue for music materials of all kinds in British libraries, through a Z39.50 gateway
- testing of inter-operability issues arising from a diversity of systems
- development of an appropriate model for interface design
- identification and assessment of potential benefits of this project to the UK higher education community
- dissemination of results to the widest possible audience
- agreement of a strategic plan for sustaining the activities of the clump beyond 2000
The current website is the product of this project.
