Newsletter Issue 4

Editorial

We welcome new and existing readers to this issue of the DELOS Newsletter and to the DELOS Network of Excellence. The aim of the Newsletter has been to keep Network members and professionals more widely interested in the development of Digital Libraries across Europe informed of the activities of DELOS and all those working in this field.
With the advent of the second phase of the Joint Programme of Activity (JPA2) the capacity for collaboration across research groups and national boundaries has increased considerably.
As a consequence the Newsletter is seeking to reflect the greater dynamism this represents by moving away from the more formal presentation of colleagues’ material along structural lines and instead will pick and run with material of greater immediacy and as a result, currency.
As a consequence the DELOS Newsletter issues will appear more frequently with more small news items and updates from whatever quarter they are tendered. It will nonetheless point to weightier submissions on research programmes or their outcomes which will be located on the DELOS website or in the DELOS Digital Library. Therefore its active focus will move to updating colleagues and readers in briefer form on recent events and other news, to be carried in pdf format for ease of printing. If you have an item to contribute for the next issue, however small or large, do not hesitate to contact the editor at .
As you will see from this issue, it has concentrated on the news of recent DELOS events and activity and on aspects of the DELOS Research Exchange Programme. I trust you will find a number of items that will prove of interest to you in this new format.
