UK's ARTS & HUMANITIES DATA SERVICE SEEKS INTEGRATED SYSTEMS SUITE

Apologies for cross posting.

The AHDS requires an integrated suite of systems to provide users with
integrated access to its extensively distributed, mixed media, and
interdisciplinary holdings.

A draft Operational Requirement detailing the functional and technical
specification for that suite of systems which, it is expected, will be
based on the Z39.50 network applications protocol, is currently available
from our web site (http://ahds.ac.uk/).

The draft is being notified for public review and comment for a two-week
period ending 29 July 1997. All comments received before that date will be
considered for inclusion in the final operational requirement. A full and
final draft of the operational requirement will be posted and notified in
early August 1997 inviting proposals to supply the systems that it details.


All comments will be treated in the strictest confidence, and should be
e-mailed to: daniel.greenstein@ahds.ac.uk
