A workshop organised by the Resource Discovery Network Centre (RDNC) on behalf of the IMesh initiative with JISC support

Introduction

The RDNC is a new service funded by JISC to provide a framework for subject gateway development in the UK. It is provided jointly by UKOLN, University of Bath, and the AHDS, King's College London.

IMesh is a loose umbrella initiative for international subject gateway activity. It was established at the ECDL '98 Conference in Crete. See the IMesh home page for further details. URL for IMesh: http://www.desire.org/html/subjectgateways/community/imesh/

A mailing list has been established to support the workshop. It is available at:

The goals of the workshop are to explore the potential for international collaboration in subject gateway activity, to identify useful points of contact, and to promote strategies which lever collective effort in mutually beneficial ways. Delegates are expected to actively participate in developing a collaborative agenda, and to commit to moving it forward.
