Project progress and targets over three years
  • Year One
  • - A prototype database to be in place, with
    selected records from the participating U.S.
    libraries. 
  • - A prototype Web-interaction interface for
    record display will be mocked up and tested. 
  • - Feedback of the participating/partner
    libraries will be sought at several points prior
    to the completion of a prototype. 
  • - The first Middle East intern will have worked
    on the project, both by learning about its design
    and contributing to its development from a Middle
    Eastern perspective.

Project progress and targets over three years
  • Mid-Year Two

    through online modes such as e-mail and
    electronic surveys.
