“…The pilot, using Z39.50, was successful, but funds for its implementation were not forthcoming. This is one example of resourcesharing projects that are reliant on signifi cant funding, as well as consistent participation by all within the network, both of which pose diffi culties for small, under-funded or specialized libraries and their professional networks (Clissman et al, 1998;Van Borm, 2004;Weech, 2002). However, many of the limitations UNIverse's creators discovered mirror the challenges IAMSLIC faced in developing a system (Birch and Pettman, 2000):…”

The International Association of Aquatic and Marine Science Libraries and Information Centers (IAMSLIC), comprised of 325 members from 86 countries, has a long history of resource sharing based on personal connections among its members. In 2002, IAMSLIC developed a resourcesharing system using a unifi ed search interface that relies on Z39.50 broadcast search capabilities to query individual catalogs. In addition to the IAMSLIC Z39.50 Distributed Library, which searches standard OPAC catalogs, smaller libraries can share library holdings through the online Union List of Marine and Aquatic Serials. Member libraries may submit interlibrary loan requests for items located through either avenue. This successful program may serve as a model for other library organizations interested in sharing resources and extending access to subject-specifi c materials amongst member libraries.

Reviews the progress of the UNIverse Project, a large‐scale open distributed libraries demonstration project supported by the European Commission’s Telematics for Libraries Programme. Concentrates on the technical achievements of the first two phases of the contract and indicates some technical problems encountered. Describes the development of the special interest groups and the plans for the final stage (the demonstration and evaluation phase) including progress to January 1999. Outlines the work remaining in the demonstration phase including the evaluation and proposed exploitation plans as well as a new task focussing on business and economic issues.
