Initiative)to determine how to develop statstics and performance
measures that address the delivery of networked information resources
and services.
Rush Miller (University of Pittsburgh), Sherrie Schmidt (Arizona State
University Libraries), and Marthy Kyrillidou (Association of Research
Libraries) will discuss the goals and objectives of the E-Metrics
project. A review of Phase 1 will be included in the discussion.
