COMMUNICATIONS

Edward A. Galloway and Gabrielle V. Michalek, The Heinz
Electronic Library Interactive On-line System (HELIOS): An Update

     In February 1994 Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Libraries
     embarked on an ambitious project to convert approximately
     one million pages of the congressional papers of
     Pennsylvania Senator John Heinz into digital format.
     Innovative image-management and text-retrieval software
     created at CMU provides the ability to search and retrieve
     these papers.  Named in memory of the late Senator, the
     Heinz Electronic Library Interactive On-line System (HELIOS)
     currently allows researchers to browse, search, view, and
     print over 434,000 digital images from the collection.  Now
     accessible through the Internet, HELIOS dramatically
     increases depth of indexing and quality of retrieval beyond
     that which archiving resources have traditionally allowed.
     This updated version of a previous Public-Access Computer
     Systems Review paper provides a look at the project three
     years later.

COLUMNS

Casting the Net

     Priscilla Caplan, DOI or Don't We?

     Priscilla Caplan discusses exactly what a Digital Object
     Identifier is, how it is created, how it is different from
     other identifiers, and what the eventual outcomes of using
     this system might be.  Is the proposed DOI system an open
     system that will meet the needs of emerging digital
     libraries?  Read on . . .
