    Abstract
    In this global information age, accessing, disseminating, and controlling information is an increasingly important aspect of human life. Often, these interests are expressed in the language of human rights-for example, rights to expression, privacy, and intellectual property. As the discipline concerned with "facilitating the effective communication of desired information between human generator and human user" (Belkin, 1975, p. 22), library and information science (LIS) has a central role in facilitating communication about human rights and ensuring the respect for human rights in information services and systems. This paper surveys the literature at the intersection of LIS and human rights. To begin, an overview of human rights conventions and an introduction to human rights theory is provided. Then the intersections between LIS and human rights are considered. Three central areas of informational human rights-communication, privacy, and intellectual property-are discussed in detail. It is argued that communication rights in particular serve as a central linchpin in the system of human rights.

    Abstract
    The aim of the ELISE project (Electronic Library Image Service for Europe) is to investigate the feasibility of providing an electronic image delivery to European member states via international networks, by developing a prototype system. The prototype will provide access to images via a detailed textual record incorporating fully indexed and searchable fields. Images are identified by fields in the database which contain pointers to locate the files. The database and imagebank can therefore be stored in different locations. Image quality provided by the system is established as a compromise between storage requirements, network speed, image decompression speed and what the copyright owner will be happy to provide. Small thumbnail images are used to provide a visual browsing facility

    Abstract
    Describes ELINOR (Electronic Library Information Online Retrieval), the electronic library project of De Montfort University, based at Milton Keynes, UK. The project uses document image processing to build a document database containing the full contents of undergradutae texts, including copyright material and University documents. Against the background of the strategic aims of the multi campus university, describes the hardware and software used, the inputting of documents, searching and browsing, the use of a WWW interface, major issues in dealing with publishers, and the pricing model used. Briefly notes the results of a study of user satisfaction, and how use of the system is monitored

    Abstract
    Examines 2 European Commission projects starting in Dec 95 aimed at managing access and protection for intellectual property. The Intellectual Multimedia Property Rights Model and Terminology for Universal References (IMPRIMATUR) project involves 16 partners with a network server in Italy. The Coordinating Project for Electronic Authors' Right Management Systems (COPEARMS) aims to develop the copyright in Transmitted Electronic Documents (CITED) work. Two other projects are also described: Copyright Ownership Protection in Computer Assisted Training (COPICAT) and MultiMedia Education System for Librarians Introducing Remote Interactive Processing of Electronic Documents (MURIEL)

    Abstract
    CD-ROM technology for both storage and distribution of information has fueled the demand for network access to CD-ROMs. The many software products offer such access with a variety of features: low cost: ease of management; levels of security; performance; and network system support. Offers advice on enumerating the different solutions, assigning priorities to the issues involved and matching these priorities with the products that best serve each one. Issues considered include: throughput; security; accessing CD-ROM contents; NLM or dedicated server; ease of installation; training required; access and security control; maximum number of CD-ROM disc drives supported; drive locking; MSCDEX support; and license metering. Concludes with a summary of 14 commercial products, each product being marked in the light of the priorities mentioned
