[LINK] IFIP Digital Library

[Tom Worthington]

The ACS is setting up a Digital Library for the International 
Federation for Information Processing to publish ICT conference 
papers (with technical assistance from the ANU). Please try out the 
interfaces and let me know what you think: <http://dl.ifip.org/>

So far there are only a few conferences available. For old 
conferences, the archive has only an abstract for each paper and a 
link to the commercial publisher. For some new conferences the full 
text of the paper is provided (with an Open Access licence).

* LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)  has been enabled for the 
librarians who may wish to test they can archive it via the LOCKSS 
Publisher Manifest: http://dl.ifip.org/iojs/index.php/ifip/gateway/lockss

* OAI (Open Archives Initiative)  has been enabled for those with 
compatible archives to try, via the OAI-PMH Interface: 
http://dl.acs.org.au/index.php/index/oai

The IFIP Digital Library uses the Open Journal Systems (OJS) open 
source publishing system:
<http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ojs>. This was used in preference to Open 
Conference Systems (OCS) <http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ocs>, as at the time 
OJS was more mature software.  Also OCS provides conference 
management facilities not needed by IFIP and OJS was better for 
handling multiple conference volumes.
