Dear all,
In preparation of our TC6 meeting in Coimbra, here is the report on the IFIP TC6 digital library prepared by the TC6 committee on our potential digital library ---- as set up in Wroclaw.
We are looking forward to an interesting discussion in Coimbra.
Best regards, Harry
(PS With thanks to Guy Leduc for this report format!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Report from the IFIP TC6 committee on an IFIP Digital Library *
_Committee members_: Arun Iyengar Guy Leduc Elie Najm Harry Rudin, chair
The *main problem *is that we are hamstrung (have a roadblock) through the five-year contract which IFIP signed with Springer. Since we have chosen alternative publication routes for some of our past conferences, one suggestion is that we make an experiment with one of our conferences and evaluate the result. With this goal in mind, I have informally contacted Google. They seem to be interested, would be willing to display the IFIP logo in association with the papers for such a conference, but do not want to run into problems with the rights assigned to Springer.
In the long term, what we would like to have is an IFIP digital library, similar to what the ACM or IEEE have which could also be accessed via Google Scholar and through each conference's own Web site.
An open question is whether the author or IFIP should retain rights to the papers. A draft copyright form, *assigning copyright* to IFIP is attached, only as a basis for discussion.
In Coimbra, we should decide
*1* - Do we want to try an *experimen*t or just wait until the next four years have passed?
*2* - If we decide for an experiment, should we try to do this *via Google*?
3 - To whom should *copyright* be assigned for the individual papers --- to IFIP or should the rights be held by the individual authors?

Dear All,
IFIP is developing a digital library. Check
On the left side under publications click on IFIP library.
Then if you click on search without writing anything in the search field you will get the whole list.
There is also provision for searching after journals or events.
Please note that the site is still under development.
With best regards Dipak ******

Dipak, thank you for the information. I have to admit that it quite confuses me. Following your instructions, I could only find papers from a single event and contributions mainly from TC9 and TC11 plus one from TC10. (Are they somehow freed from the Springer contract?) Or am I doing something wrong in trying to access
http://81.231.123.26/ifip/ and then IFIP library?
By the way, the performance, at least today, is so painfully slow that it is not at all conducive to further use!
Do you have access to IFIP's plans for the IFIP Digital Library? It would be most helpful to have such a document.
With best wishes and looking forward to seeing you in Coimbra, Harry

Harry, I mentioned that it is under development. I had two cds one from TC9 and one from TC11 there they had "additional papers". These papers are included as trials.
If you have some old TC6 papers please send them to me. I will include them. With best regards Dipak *****
