ABSTRACT

Founded in 1990, The Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) is an organization designed to address the promise of networked information technology for the advancement of scholarly communication and the enrichment of intellectual productivity. CNI works on a broad array of issues related to the development and use of networked information in the research and education communities. CNI's program has included projects in the areas of architectures and standards for networked information, scholarly communication, economics of networked information, Internet technology and infrastructure, teaching and learning, institutional and professional implications of the networked environment, and government information on the Internet. CNI is an institutional membership organization and its Task Force membership meetings have served as a mechanism for its constituency to keep abreast of the latest trends and developments in the field.
