Exploit and Exploit Interactive

Exploit was an accompanying measure designed to promote the results of EU library projects (both FP3 and FP4) and to facilitate their take-up by the market of library and information systems. The European Commission is now working under the FP5 in which libraries currently come under the Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme.

Exploit Interactive was the Exploit project's Pan-European Web magazine, designed to promote awareness, disseminate and exploit reusable project applications and results. The magazine ran for seven issues and has now finished; though the site will remain available for reference from this server for at least another two years.

As an accompanying measure of the Exploit Project, the magazine:

• provided a mechanism for pan-European dissemination of information about the Telematics for Libraries projects
• worked with the appropriate project contacts to focus on areas/issues of interest to the readers
• supported on-going project dissemination strategies via the magazine which benefited both readers and project members
• developed and maintained a strong and involved community of Exploit Interactive readers, authors, project partners and information providers
• provided a forum for discussion within the EU Telematics for Libraries community
• seeked to involve members of the EU, EEA member states, and CEE countries

Staff

The project manager for the Exploit Interactive ejournal was Brian Kelly. The editors were Bernadette Daly and Philip Hunter (issue 1); Bernadette Daly (issue 2); Brian Kelly (issues 3, 4 and 5) and Marieke Napier (issues 6 and 7).

Final Report

The Final Report (published in December 2000) is available from Opus, the University of Bath repository in MS Word and PDF formats.

Follow-up Work

The Exploit work was carried on in the form of the Cultivate project, which was funded by the Digital Heritage and Cultural Content (DIGICULT) area of the EC's IST. The programme was expanded to include all memory institutions and organisations (in particular from archives, libraries, museums, publishers, multimedia and galleries), as well as organisations from Eastern Europe and other non-EU countries.

UKOLN's contribution to the project was the publication of nine issues of the Cultivate Interactive ejournal.
