Academic integrity was an issue well before the Internet. However, today's combination of term paper mills, student attitudes that cheating is OK and increases in academic dishonesty are causing colleges and universities to look for new ways to stop plagiarism. This presentation will review current concerns about cheating, some tools that are designed to detect plagiarism and approaches that campuses are finding successful in ensuring academic integrity.

Digital video objects share many characteristics in common with other digital media, including the need for intellectual property rights and privacy protections. However, as a consecutive medium, digital video (and audio) have unique properties, such as the ability to create component videos and objects, through book marking and file decomposition, and the ability to create composite objects, such as a complete videoconference session through concatenating individual videoconference streams. This presentation will provide an overview of the current status and future directions of the Video Development Initiative (ViDe), using Dublin Core and MPEG7 for improved asset management, as well as a new initiative to develop a Rights-Core language to use for the management of intellectual property and privacy, with an initial focus on digital video but intended to be extensible to any digital objects.

This session discusses the recent draft report produced by the joint RLG/OCLC Working Group on Attributes of a Digital Archive. Charged with articulating the requirements for the "deep infrastructure" called for in the 1996 seminal report, Preserving Digital Information, this working group has created a draft report that moves the research resources community further toward the goal of providing our digital cultural heritage with the same degree of assurance for the long-term as the non-digital resources. Adapting and building on the emerging international standard of the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) reference model, the draft identifies attributes and responsibilities of trusted repositories, as well as a mechanism to gauge and hold trust - a framework for a program of digital repository certification. The session will also solicit comments for inclusion in the review process and outline the way forward; including timetables for the production of the final report and follow-on initiatives.

Because of an increasing number of security "incidents" or breaches in which there is no way to determine the individual responsible, many academic libraries are under growing pressure from their campus security offices to provide the means to authenticate patrons who use public workstations. The Indiana University Bloomington Libraries experienced this pressure nearly three years ago, and now require authentication for public workstations in 20 campus libraries. We have devised ways to give access to the libraries' collections (including electronic collections) to the general public, as well as to all faculty, staff and students of Indiana University. To date we have had no security breaches (during the past two years), and very few complaints from patrons regarding the sign-on process.

Results from the first year of the LibQUAL+ implementation funded by FIPSE indicate that libraries are eager to experiment with and adopt a total market survey tool for describing and measuring library service quality. The participation of 43 libraries during the spring 2001 implementation has doubled the number of participating libraries originally planned for the first year of the FIPSE, U.S. Department of Education, three-year grant awarded to the ARL/Texas A&M joined 'new measures' effort. Next steps include: (a) scaling the LibQUAL+ tool implementation to more than 100+ libraries in spring 2002; (b) adapting the tool for the Information Technology (IT) environment for interested participating campuses; and (c) investigating the applicability of the method and tool to the digital library environment through the recently awarded NSDL/NSF grant to the Texas A&M/ARL research team.

A URL takes requestors from a citation to a destination---provided, of course, the URL is still valid. Open Links are high-quality links that feature additional properties, such as:

1. Persistence: Increase the probable lifetime of citations.
   
2. Multiplicity: Produce a menu of services for each citation.
   
3. Context-Sensitivity: Resolve a citation in a manner appropriate to the requestor's context.
   
4. Manageability: Create a log of citations according to requestor specifications.
   

This is achieved by means of link-resolution servers or resolvers that have the ability to accept identifiers and/or metadata from one resource and identify, locate, and link to related resources. The key to this process is the ability to package identifiers and metadata and to transport these packages. These web-transportable packages of identifiers and metadata are called OpenURLs.

Open Linking has been widely recognized as an important technology for libraries and scholarly research. To encourage the growth of more, and even better, Open-Linking services, NISO has put the standardization of OpenURL on the fast track. NISO Committee AX is developing a standard syntax for OpenURLs that will serve the scholarly-information community immediately and other communities in the long term. In this session, we will introduce Open Linking, OpenURL, and the work of NISO Committee AX. We will also discuss how you can participate in the standardization process.

With the blessing of the Provost and with joint planning from the Library and IT, Northwestern University renovated an entire floor of its main Library in 2001 and co- located the primary departments for direct support of faculty into a new, hybrid Center that has been nicknamed "2EAST".

This joint effort brings together Collection Management, Academic Technologies and Digital Media Services into one cooperative space. We will discuss why this hybrid approach to faculty support makes for a good fit at a research university such as Northwestern. We will share overviews of faculty projects in Distributed Education and in Scholarly Technologies that are particular outcomes of this 2EAST initiative. And although it is still early in 2EAST history, we will reflect upon what we might do differently.

In 1999 Carnegie Mellon University Libraries, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon received funding from IMLS to develop, document and disseminate prototypes for a new form of collaboration between libraries, museums, and other collection holders. The goal of the project was to produce more effective educational outreach to the public in the form of SmartWeb exhibits designed to deliver information online to a diverse user community. This presentation will provide an overview of project goals and discuss the importance of the project in making quality information available to users. In addition, the session will describe difficulties, challenges and lessons learned from the project, including some of the steps that were necessary in working with the various departments e.g., computer science, museum, computer engineer, researcher, archivist, scanners, etc.
