I have been asked, and will be doing my best, to record and disseminate
the proceedings of the ARL Workshop at Duke University.  This is not to
discourage others from posting their thoughts and impressions, since
they will inevitably enrich any discussions and enhance the follow-up
process.  

I do definitely think it would be useful to post (or even reiterate!)
questions, problems, concerns, and specific issues that are on the
minds of the people on this list in order to generate the most
productive discussion possible at the workshops.

My first-impression issue list would probably run something like this:

     -what does electronic reserves mean to the participants in
      their local context?

     -how is the service envisioned as a part of a larger set of
      electronic services/resources now and in the foreseeable
      future?

     -what are the campus partnerships that are associated with
      this service, actual and potential?  What can/should be done
      to establish/solidify these relationships?

     -how do we characterize the intellectual property issues that 
      arise in the context of electronic reserves in its various 
      forms?  How can we work towards writing model policies to deal
      with these issues?  How much and what kind of adaptations
      should libraries have to develop or overlay for an electronic
      reserves service to manage intellectual property?

     -how does other work being done in developing access to
      electronic texts, document delivery, etc. overlap with 
      concerns related to electronic reserves?  

     -How do the participants see NACS/the campus bookstore as being
      involved in the electronic reserves scenario?  How does NACS
      see itself as being involved?

     -Can/should we harness the resources of vendors in the process
      of designing some or all of an electronic reserves service?  
      Can we develop a critical mass of interest among Library 
      associations and organizations on a local, regional, national 
      level?

     -what are the hardware and software configurations used for
      creating and delivering the service?

     -can we develop a more exciting name for electronic reserves,
      something that has to do with instructional support (I'm only
      half joking!!!)?


                                Others please chime in!
