Digital Library Initiative
     
        A project to research digital libraries which aims to provide
        real collections to real users (high school students,
        University researchers and students, users in public
        libraries).  The project is sponsored jointly by three US
        federal funding agencies, led by the National Science
        Foundation.
     
        The {University of Michigan}, one of the six sites selected in
        1994 to collaborate, will provide collections on earth and
        space sciences.  The project, known there as the University of
        Michigan Digital Library Project (UMDL), is a large,
        multi-year project headed by Daniel Atkins, Dean of the School
        of Information and Library Studies.
