The digital libraries research community has been rapidly expanding and diversifying, and it's getting more difficult to keep track of relevant information. In an effort to further assist communication within the digital libraries community, DLI2 would like to provide a single, permanent archive site for relevant discussion lists. We hope to start the conversations by suggesting a number of topics, and we are working to identify a group of listowners or moderators with whom we can consult as we develop the lists. We encourage everyone to contribute information such as new research advances, digital libraries projects and their research accomplishments, events such as conferences and workshops, and funding sources.

DLIST offers the following services on a list by list basis:

*subscription via the web

*archiving and searching of current and future postings

*searching of past disussion archives of most lists

We invite comments and suggestions, and if you are a listowner or moderator, please consider archiving your list on our site. The more lists that show an interest in this project, the more useful this site will be. We also would like to encourage everyone to list their contact information on the addresses page.

Thank you for your support
