  • Cost Centers and Measures in the Information Value Chain

    (1992-1994)
    A collection of projects that use networking and networked information resources and services in the broadest possible ways to support and enhance teaching and learning, in cooperation with the New Learning Communities project.

  • Consortium for University Printing and Information Distribution (CUPID)
    (1992)
    An informal and open consortium of universities interested in the distributed printing over the Internet of finished, high-quality, production documents and defining a suite of protocols and services that can be used as the foundation for a variety of applications related to printing and distribution.

  • Development of Cost/Benefit Analysis of Alternative Models for the GPO WINDO Legislative Proposal
    (1992)
    A project organized by the Coalition Working Group on Access to Public Information with the American Library Association to develop cost/benefit analyses of alternative models for the proposed Government Printing Office Wide Information Network Data Online (GPO WINDO) Act.

  • Rights for Electronic Access to and Delivery of Information (READI)
    (1992)
    A project undertaken by CNI and Robert Ubell Associates to explore whether and how contract law, in the form of licenses and related agreements between creators and users of published works, could be applied within the context of copyright law to ease the flow of networked information. The particular objective was to determine whether it is possible to develop a common set of terms and conditions for managing relationships in the emerging market for networked information.
