COALITION FOR NETWORKED INFORMATION:

The Coalition for Networked Information pursues its mission with the assistance of a task force of over two hundred institutions and organizations that provides focus and resources which are crucial to the ability of the Coalition to articulate and share visions of how information management must change in the 1990s to meet the social and economic opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. Members of the Coalition Task Force include, among others, higher education institutions, publishers, network service providers, computer hardware, software, and systems companies, library networks and organizations, and public and state libraries, a truly expert and diverse collaboration of stake-holders in information resource management. Currently 212 organizations and institutions are members of the Coalition Task Force.
