The European Commission, DG XIII, has published a detailed list of the topics relating to the "Libraries" sector of the specific RTD programme in the field of Telematics Applications, for which proposals will be invited under the next call for proposals, due to be launched on 17 December 1996.

The topics, twelve in total, are grouped into the three Action Lines laid down in the "Libraries" work programme. The document provides additional context for proposed actions by providing a series of scenarios or action areas through which the goals of each Action Line may be addressed. The topics listed are not, however, intended to be comprehensive or mandatory. They may be used by proposers as a focus, since they reflect priority actions with good potential to contribute to the programme objectives.

The call topics listed are as follows:

. Call Topic 1: Integration tools and interfaces for library systems in the local network;
