Liebe KollegInnen,
die folgende mitteilung von CAMILE gebe ich gerne an sie weiter:

> The final report of project MINSTREL (Management Information Software
> Tool - Research in Libraries) is now available on the WWW.
> URL  http://www.dmu.ac.uk/~camile/Minstrel.ht
> Any comments are very welcome.
>
> The aim of project MINSTREL was to develop software to enable librarians
> at all levels of management to obtain relevant and reliable management
> information from automated and non-automated data sources. The project
> developed an environment which provides managers with a range of
> functions and tools to access and manipulate information.
> Based on a client server approach, the MINSTREL system was designed to
> provide an environment for the sharing of information among staff who
> are separated by distance and by their activities. Users are able to
> access data held in a central shared facility, accessing both local and
> remote data sets. They also have access to their own area for exploring
> new data and ratios.
>
> The project involved the library automation suppliers BLCMP and 
> PICA and the libraries of the
> University College Dublin and the University of Twente, Netherlands,
> with De Montfort University  library acting as coordinator. 
> It was funded by the CEC DG XIII-E3 Libraries Programme.
