    ABSTRACT:: In 1992 the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) funded a
               three year grant to investigate the questions related to
               large-scale, distributed, digital libraries. The award
               focused research on Computer Science Technical Reports
               (CS-TR) and was granted to the Corporation for National
               Research Initiatives (CNRI) and five research universities.
               The ensuing collaborative research has focused on a broad
               spectrum of technical, social, and legal issues, and has
               encompassed all aspects of a very large, heterogeneous
               distributed digital library environment: acquisition,
               storage, organization, search, retrieval, display, use and
               intellectual property. The initial corpus of this digital
               library is a coherent digital collection of CS-TRs created at
               the five participating universities: Carnegie Mellon,
               Cornell, MIT, Stanford, and the University of California at
               Berkeley. The Corporation for National Research Initiatives
               serves as a collaborator and agent for the project.

               This technical report summarizes the accomplishments and
               collaborative efforts of the CS-TR project from a librarian's
               perspective; to do this we address the following questions:

               1. Why do librarians and computer scientists make good
               research partners? 2. What has been learned? 3. What new
               questions have been articulated? 4. How can the
               accomplishments be moved into a service environment? 5. What
               actions and activities might follow from this effort?
