PRIDE

People and Resources Identification for Distributed Environments making the connection between people and information

Funded under the EU Telematics for Libraries Programme.

Aim: PRIDE (People and Resources Identification for Distributed Environments) will help users to find and use networked information services and resources which will be seamlessly interlinked for the first time. In particular, the project will improve the interface between distributed library services and the wider world of electronic commerce and information supply - including digital lifestyle offerings such as tele-shopping, entertainment and training.

Co-ordinated by London and South Eastern Library Region (LASER) in the UK. Eleven partners include: Quercus Information Ltd; LITC at South Bank University, London; Fretwell-Downing Informatics Ltd; UKOLN at University of Bath; University College Dublin; CERLIM at Manchester Metropolitan University; University of East Anglia; Macquarie University, Australia; Bibliotheque de l'Universite Rene Descartes - Paris V; Otto-von-Guericke-Universitat, Universitatsbibliothek, Magdeburg; IQSoft, Hungary. The British Library is a sponsoring partner, and other commercial sponsors are also expected.
