Use of WWW in a documentary network: First steps towards a Vîrtual Library S. Rouveyrol and E. Cherhal
In Spring 1993, C.I.C.G. and I.M.A.G. decided to work together on a project called “Bibliothèque Virtuelle” (Virtual Library). The idea was to provide access, not only to catalogs of bibliographic references, but also to the actual grey literature (theses, technical reports and other publications) produced by researchers in I.M.A.G., Grenoble, and even elsewhere. The project was based on the idea that, given the existente of the campus local network GRENET, and the french national network RENATER, users could gain access to al1 sorts of documents, provided the information was available in an organized way. The Virtual Library, therefore, was to be based on network retrieving tools principally WAIS( and www. The project was supported by the Pole Européen (an Inter-University organism in Grenoble), who decided to extend the system to al1 the Libraries and Documentation Centers in and around Grenoble. This gave birth to the Réseau Documentaire de Grenoble (Grenoble Documentary Networkl: (http://www.grenet.fr/ anteserveur/ anteserveur.html). The use of WWW in biological research R. Doelz and T.

The World Wide Web (WWW) wil1 be used, no doubt, for Distant Education implementations of Virtual Classrooms. This paper reports on the experience from an early computer linked virtual classroom, an advanced undergraduate course, Topics in Genera1 Relativity, offered in 1993 by the Montana State University at Bozeman, Montana, U.S.A. Instructor and students of the class were dispersed across the continental U.S. and communicated with each other via the server computer located in Montana. The linking technique and the overall interaction procedure between students and instructor are described in detail. Special problems related to the communicating on such a system are addressed and the paper points to the relevante - and superiority - of a Web server as the natura1 evolution of the Montana State system.
