Other Title VI Technology Innovation Projects American Overseas Digital Library http://www.aiys.org/aodl/ The American Overseas Digital Library (AODL) is a joint venture of fifteen American Overseas Research Center libraries, coordinated through the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC). The initial 3-year phase of the project (Oct. 1999 - Sept. 2002) is funded by a matching grant made by the U.S. Department of Education's International Education and Graduate Programs Service under its program "Technological Innovation and Cooperation for Foreign Information Access (TICFIA)" to the American Institute for Yemeni Studies, on behalf of all the participating vendors. The AODL library site is hosted by the University of Utah's Marriott Library. A variety of information about the AODL project, including a preview of how the AODL is being developed, as well as links to accessible sections of AODL itself, may be found by clicking on the links below. The Digital South Asia Library http://dsal.uchicago.edu/ This project builds upon a highly successful two-year pilot project funded by the Association of Research Libraries' Global Resources Program with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Participants in the Digital South Asia Library include leading U.S. universities, the Center for Research Libraries, the South Asia Microform Project, the Committee on South Asian Libraries and Documentation, the Association for Asian Studies, the Library of Congress, the Asia Society, the British Library, the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, MOZHI in India, the Sundarayya Vignana Kendram in India, Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya in Nepal, and other institutions in South Asia. Central
Eurasian Information Resource The
C E I R is planned as a gateway to a wide variety of information
on Russia, Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Baltic States, suitable
for the specialist, the student or the general user. It is being
developed jointly by the libraries of the University of Washington,
The Evergreen State College and South Seattle Community College,
in collaboration with the Russian, East European and Central Asian
Studies Center in the University of Washington's Jackson School
of International Studies. Latin
Americanist Research Resources Project This Project seeks to create a prototype for fully connected collections for Latin American studies. Institutional participants in the Project include the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and forty-five ARL Libraries. There are two components to this project:
Digital Asia Library http://digitalasia.library.wisc.edu/ The Digital Asia Library, based at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is a cooperative venture of The Ohio State University Libraries, the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Libraries, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries. The project uses the expertise of subject area specialists and librarians to provide researchers and students with quick and easy access to high quality Asian Internet resources through a Web-based catalog. GLOBAL
WINDOW: THE GUIDE TO BUSINESS SUCCESS - CHINA The fundamental objective of the GLOBAL WINDOW CHINA website is to take advantage of the dramatic diffusion and ongoing advance of information technologies to foster a fuller understanding of the culturally grounded subtleties and nuances that permeate international businesses' activities in China and to fill a pressing need for business education and information by providing a unique source that is accessible through the internet both nationally and internationally. Russian
Periodical Index Digital Project This project will use digital technology to organize, preserve, and widely disseminate this unique Russian information resource to students and scholars worldwide. The index is an invaluable reference work that, despite the vast range of topics it covers, is largely unavailable to scholars of Russia and the former Soviet Union. Only about 15 to 20 universities in the United States have backfiles or current subscriptions to it, and most of these holdings are incomplete.
