Best Wishes for the New Year

Many of the presentations from the fall CNI Task Force meeting held 
in San Antonio in late November, 2001 are now available on the CNI 
web site.

Also available is the 2001-2002 CNI program plan, which was 
distributed and discussed at the fall meeting. This provides a view 
of CNI's priorities for the coming year. We will be mailing printed 
copies of this to CNI Task Force representatives along with the 
invitations to the spring 2002 task force meeting, which will be held 
in Washington DC on April 15-16, 2002. A call for submissions for 
this meeting will also be issued via CNI-Announce in the near future.

In my opening presentation at the CNI meeting, I mentioned the 
National Research Council report on Broadband, titled "Broadband: 
Bringing Home the Bits", which had just been released (I had the 
privilige of serving on the committee that wrote it). This report is 
available online, along with various materials from the press 
conference announcing its release. If you go to http:www.nas.edu and 
enter "broadband" in the search box, you will find pointers to all of 
this material.

I also want to highlight a report emerging from the Mellon-sponsored 
planning work on archiving of digital journals being done at Harvard 
which is now available; this report looks at the feasibility of 
developing a standardized DTD for submitting electronic journals into 
archives. This report can be found at:
