David Alsmeyer
alsmeydh@boat.bt.com
http://www.labs.bt.com/people/alsmeydh
David Alsmeyer manages BT's library, information and translation services, which provides
technical library and information services and a full translation and interpreting service
to people throughout the BT Group.
Achievements have included work towards building a digital
library for BT. The BT Digital Library incorporates the Inspec and ABI/Inform databases
and a number of internal databases on a WWW server. These databases are supplemented by
electronic journals hosted on the library server or on publishers' sites. Electronic
journals include titles from Elsevier Science, the IEEE, the IEE, and the in-house BT
Technology Journal.
The library has been transformed from a large, paper
collection to a much smaller core collection of key documents backed up by an end-user
driven document delivery system. This has allowed the library to refocus on building the
Digital Library. Staff training has been provided to ensure that all employees in the
library have the skills and experience they will need.
