| Les Signets | When in summer 1997 it was decided to give Internet access in the reading rooms, we began selecting and proposing an organised list of Internet resources to help the readers using the Net. Technically, the directory is not a database. It is a collection of static HTML pages. | http://www.bnf.fr/web-bnf/liens/ | http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/services/mailing-lists/ukoln-external-open/imesh-workshop/0038.html | 2000-10-31 | |

| Imagesearch project | The ImageSearch Project was an initiative of five of Australia's major cultural heritage institutions, to develop and test a single point of access to their digitised pictorial collections. The descriptions of the chosen images were provided in a single metadata schema, the Dublin Core, and gathered into a central repository at the National Library. The ImageSearch Project demonstrated benefits for both searchers and for the contributing institutions themselves, and has resulted in the decision to implement a new cultural heritage service for all Australians this year. url | from: http://www.slnsw.gov.au/lasie/sep00/lasa4.htm | 2000-10-31 |
