14 <p>Since 1998 the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, which is
15 devoted to basic research in relativity, publishes one of the most
16 innovative electronic science journals, {\em Living Reviews in
17 Relativity} (http://www.livingreviews.org). Its mission is to build the
18 journal into a primary reference point in the field, exploiting new and
19 cutting edge Web technologies to maximise use, transparency, and depth
20 of the information provided. The Institute has a number of staff who
21 are exceptionally skilled in computing, and many of them contributed to
22 the development of software that has made the journal's Web site one of
23 the most advanced in the world of electronic publishing. Further
24 background information on the journal can be found at
25 http://www.livingreviews.org/Project/index.html. Fast and effective
26 international dissemination of the Web journal is provided by the
27 European Mathematical Society's Information Service, which maintains a
28 network of more than 30 mirror servers worldwide</p>
29 <p>The Institute has close connections to the newly founded Center for
30 Information Management of the Max Planck Society that will act as a
31 central service to the more than 80 Max Planck Institutes, to improve
32 their ability to access and to publish information on the Internet. It
33 is further cooperating with the leading European publisher of original
34 research in gravitational physics, the Institute of Physics Publishing
35 (Bristol, UK) with its journal {\em Classical and Quantum Relativity}.</p>
36 <p>The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics will join forces
37 with Professor Bernd Wegner at the Technical University in Berlin.
38 Both parties are currently cooperating in the dissemination and
39 mirroring of electronic journals like
40 {\em Living Reviews in Relativity}.</p>

53 <p>The mission of the new Center for Information Management of the Max
54 Planck Society is to allow the Society with its more than 80
55 specialized research Institutes to keep pace with and eventually play
56 a leadership role in Europe in the management of scientific information.
57 It will be staffed with 6 employees and start operating in September
58 2001. The project will be advised by a commission of MPG Institute
59 directors and Rick Luce, the Director of the Los Alamos National
60 Laboratory's "Library Without Walls".</p>
