The Coalition for Networked Information was founded in March 1990 to promote the creation and use of networked information resources and services that advance scholarship and intellectual productivity. The Coalition is a joint project of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), CAUSE, and Educom. A task force of over 200 institutions and organisations provides the Coalition with insights, initiatives, and resources to pursue its mission. Members of the task force include higher education institutions, publishers, network service providers, computer companies, library networks and organisations, and public and state libraries. It is a truly diverse partnership of institutions and organisations with a common interest in realising the promise of networked information resources and services.

CAUSE is the association for managing and using information resources in higher education. An international non-profit association, CAUSE is dedicated to enhancing higher education through the effective management and use of information resources. Informally organised in 1962, CAUSE was incorporated in 1971 with 25 charter member institutions. Today, the CAUSE membership includes more than 1200 campuses and other educational organisations from all regions of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and several overseas countries - as well as 63 corporate members. More than 3200 individuals participate in CAUSE as member representatives from their institutions.

The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom and contains over one hundred and fifty million items representing every age of written civilisation. The British Library exists to serve scholarship, research and innovation. It is the national archive of monographs and serials received by legal deposit. It provides Reading Room and enquiry services, as well as a range of document supply services for remote users. The Library's Initiatives for Access programme is looking at how new digital and networking technologies can expand the use of its rich collections.

The British Library Research and Development Department is the main UK funding agency for research in the library and information field. It supports and disseminates the results of a wide range of projects. The Department has a number of other activities, including administering grants for cataloguing and preservation, research in the book world and special initiatives for the Department of National Heritage.

The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) was established on 1 April 1993 by the three Higher Education Funding Councils with a mission "to stimulate and enable the cost effective exploitation of information systems and to provide a high quality national infrastructure for the UK higher education and research councils' communities".

The main objectives of JISC are as follows:

• To exercise vision and leadership in bringing about benefits to the higher education sector by the exploitation of information systems.
• To ensure the provision of a pervasive network infrastructure to the higher education and research councils' communities.
• To ensure the provision of central data services where this is sensible on economic grounds.
• To promote the exploitation of new technologies as a service provision to the higher education community.
• To encourage and facilitate the development of Information Strategies in the higher education community.
