Book excerpt: The Association of American Universities (AAU) Research Libraries Project was designed to involve universities in the process of shaping the new electronic environment faced by research libraries. The project has engaged university expertise to develop recommendations for action at the national and institutional levels to assure that the perspectives of research universities can play a defining role in the evolution of national information network policies and practices affecting university education, research, and scholarship. The work of the project was carried out through three task forces whose results are reported here: (1) Acquisition and Distribution of Foreign Language and Area Studies Material; (2) A National Strategy for Managing Scientific and Technological Information; and (3) Intellectual Property Rights in an Electronic Environment. Each report contains an overview of the issue; recommendations of the task force; and proposals for policy implementations. (JLB)
