    (1994-01-01T00:00:00Z) Blagden, J F
    The study reported here is part of the Eurilia (European Initiative in Library and Information in Aerospace) project, the aim of which is to enhance the Libraries’ R&D and education process which underpins the aerospace sector by establishing a new service based on a standardised pan-European system for information access, retrieval, image browsing and document delivery. This will in turn extend the access and availability of major aerospace collections. The partners in this project are: University of Limerick, Delft University of Technology, Digital Equipment Corporation, Sup’Aero, ENSAE - Ecole National Superieure de 1’Aeronautique et de l’Espace, Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aeroespacial, Cranfield University The work for this study was largely undertaken by Cranfield University, but all partners have provided useful input and comments particularly in terms of the interviews conducted in each Eurilia country. The University would also wish to thank the EC European Action Programme for Libraries for the support for Eurilia in general and this phase of the project in particular. This report was originally submitted to the EC as Eurilia (European Initiative in Library and Information in Aerospace), Pre- project Audit, Project LIB-EURILIA/3-2083 funded by the European Action Programme for L

    Eurilia (European Initiative in Library & Information in Aerospace) :
    (1997-01-01T00:00:00Z) Blagden, J F
    This report is the final deliverable (D7) of the Eurilia (European Initiative in Libraries and Information in Aerospace) project: a three year programme that aims to enhance information access and utilisation of information within the European aerospace sector. The partners involved in this project, which ended in February 1997, were: University of Limerick (UL), Ireland, Cranfield University (CU), UK, Technical University of Delft (TUD), Netherlands, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Netherlands, Sup’ Aero, ENSAE - Ecole National Superieure de Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aerospacial (INTA), Spain, l’Aeronautique et de l’Espace (SA), France. This project was funded by the EC Action Programme for Libraries. From the outset the project has attempted to focus on user needs within the aerospace sector and the first section of this report summarises the key conclusions of the studies that were conducted at the beginning of the project, all of which focused on the aerospace user. The second section of this report replicated the tests on users which were deployed in the first stage of the project to try to assess what changes had occurred in aerospace information seeking behaviour and attitudes. Section two also presents the results of a lengthy evaluation by users of the Eurilia software and the final section presents the results of the commercial study, which included both an extensive use of software specifically designed to test commercial viability, together with the results of users’ views on the market potential of both the Eurilia software and the content of the
