Congratulations to all the recipients, and I look forward to meeting them next month. INITIATIVE NEWS: The Ockham group http://www.ockham.org/ has found excellent opportunities for synergy with two UK initiatives: the Information Environment Service Registry http://iesr.ac.uk/ and The Archives Hub http://archiveshub.ac.uk/. Both initiatives funded by DLF's newest ally, JISC. Indeed, Ockham has been able to import IESR's metadata scheme into the Ockham registry, making good re-use of work done in this similar British effort, and avoiding redundant work. A face-to-face set of meetings this month, graciously hosted in Liverpool and Manchester, allowed the various Ockham, Archives Hub, and IESR development teams to meet and to explore further opportunities to benefit from and contribute to each others' work. February 2005Katherine Kott named Director of the Digital Library Federation’s Aquifer initiative. Her appointment became effective January 1, 2005. Kott comes to the DLF from Stanford University Libraries, where she was head of cataloging and metadata services. As Aquifer director, she will continue to work from Stanford.
