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

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

73 <p>The Technische Universität Berlin, with some 28 300 students,
74 is the largest technical universities in Germany. In
75 contrast to most other such institutions it offers a wide range
76 of subjects. In addition to the core subjects in natural
77 sciences and engineering, the TU Berlin also has faculties and
78 institutes specialising in planning, humanities, social sciences
79 and economics. In the Berlin region it offers the widest range
80 of engineering options.</p>
