J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah was awarded a Library Services and Technology (LSTA) grant to research and demonstrate a newspaper digitization project. The Library succesfully digitized three weekly Utah newspapers for a total of 30,000 pages and developed an effective process that resulted in a second LSTA grant in 2003. That grant application was led by the Utah Academic Library Consortium and digitized another 106,000 pages and 17 new titles. The digitized newspapers in this website may be browsed by issue or searched by keywords, article titles, weddings, deaths, and births. http://www.lib.utah.edu/digital/unews/ MANJUNATHA P.

More on the UK's eBank project Liz Lyon, Adding value to open access research data : the eBank UK Project, a presentation at OAI4, the CERN workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (Geneva, October 20-22, 2005). Self-archived November 12, 2006. Abstract: This presentation will briefly examine the changing landscape of e-research and data-intensive science, together with associated trends in scholarly communications. In this context the eBank UK project will be described, which is seeking to enable open access to research data generated from an e-Science application, and to build links from e-research outputs through to e-learning materials. The role of digital repositories and OAI-based aggregator services in facilitating the linking of data-sets from Grid-enabled research applications to e-prints through to peer-reviewed articles, as resources in portals and Learning Management Systems, will be assessed. Recent developments from the eBank UK project will be presented with discussion about integration in research and learning workflows and the challenge of assuring long-term access to open data archives.
