MEK
    The Hungarian Electronic Library (MEK),, started in 1994, will make
electronic documents available by collecting, organizing and transforming
them to a uniform format using "human labor". MEK collects Hungarian or
Hungary/ Central and Eastern Europe-related full-texts to be used for
scientific, educational or culture-related activities. MEK is a non-profit
movement: the service shall remain free and open to the general public
forever Any computer may be used to set up partial collections;
MEK documents may be freely copied and distributed if a few simple rules
are obeyed. (See the copyright section in the front of the files.) As of
November, 1997 there are more than 1,600 documents in the library, most of
them written in Hungarian. Half of the collection is classical and modern
fiction, the other half is scientific and educational literature.

     A new Digital Object Identifier System has been developed by the
Association of American Publishers and the Corporation for National
Research Initiatives in order tol facilitate the extension of copyright
to the Internet. The DOI is a unique identifier (similar to an ISBN or
ISSN),
which will allow access to documents-even when their URL changes.  The DOI
is already being implemented by many publishers to provide access to
electronic journals.  The International DOI Foundation was recently founded
with headquarters in Geneva and Washington DC.
