And Others Academic Libraries Change Computer Networks Foreign Countries Higher Education Information Dissemination Information Technology Intellectual Property Library Acquisition Library Collection Development Productivity Research Libraries Resource Materials Second Languages Technological Advancement Trend Analysis This volume documents two program sessions that reported on the Association of American Universities' (AAU) Research Libraries Project. This project was initiated by the AAU in collaboration with ARL and with the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; interim reports from the AAU task forces were presented in October 1993 and have been published elsewhere. Program Session 4 consisted of a brief introduction by Duane E. Webster, Executive Director of the ARL, and a panel discussion on work in progress on the Research Libraries Project to examine the potential for improved productivity of research libraries through new technology. Work to date in the areas of networking, copyright and intellectual property, and foreign acquisitions is outlined. Session 5 contained the following presentations: (1) "Foreign Language Resources" (Paul Mosher); (2) "Intellectual Property in an Electronic Environment" (Joe A. Hewitt); (3) "Scientific and Technological Resources" (Susan K. Nutter); and (4) "Discussion" (John Black). Proceedings of the business meeting are summarized as well. Five appendixes present project reports and reports on various ARL activities, lists of member libraries, and a conference attendance list. (SLD)
