From: "William E. Moen" <wemoen@unt.edu>
To: ZLOT Proof of Concept List <zlotproof-l@unt.edu>

With this announcement, we are formally releasing the Call for
Participation in the Library of Texas Resource Discovery Service Proof
of Concept.

The ZLOT Project website <http://www.unt.edu/zlot> has a page that links
to various documents related to the Library of Texas Resource Discovery
Proof of Concept:

http://www.unt.edu/zlot/POC/poc_index.htm

From that page, you can link to the Call for Participation.  Also, we
have released a companion document, "Guidelines for Participation in the
Proof of Concept Demonstration for the Library of Texas Resource
Discovery Service."

You will want to review the Call for Participation and the Guidelines
document.  You can send me a private email at: wemoen@unt.edu to
indicate your interest in participating in the ZLOT Proof of Concept.
We will then need a signed letter of intent from you.  Our deadline for
the letter of intent is July 20, 2002.

Participation in the ZLOT Proof of Concept is open to all vendors and
developers that meet the minimal requirements identified in the Call for
Participation and the Guidelines document. Participation in the ZLOT
proof of concept is voluntary. Neither participation nor
non-participation in the ZLOT proof of concept will affect future
opportunities of a vendor or developer in working with the Library of
Texas project.

We hope you will join us in the exciting endeavor to create a premier
statewide vitual library for the citizens of Texas!

Cheers,
Bill Moen, ZLOT Principal Investigator
