It is important to report here that there has been a change in organization that execute this project, from CNRG to KMRG ITB.
Originally, the project was proposed by Ismail Fahmi under Computer Network Research Group (CNRG). But since 1998 he had a new task to help ITB Central Library while he still as the researcher at CNRG. Because his work was very important and many people join with him, he decided to establish a new group called Knowledge Management Research Group (KMRG) at the beginning of 2000. While CNRG's major research are on TCP/IP networking environtment, KMRG's major research are on knowledge and information management.
When he received approval information on his project proposal from IDRC, KMRG has done researches on digital library very well. For the proffesional and practical reason, he decided to bring the operation of the project under KMRG administration. While for administrative matter he still placed CNRG as the organization that responsible on the project. So, both CNRG and KMRG have been working together to conduct this project.
The only staff changed in this project is Metra Cahya Utama, ST. He only works about two months until the end of October 2000. He had to move to Jakarta for new proffessional job. Because of that, he can't spend his time for this project any more.
His position, Application Development Coordinator, was then moved to Arif Rifai Dwiyanto, ST. After he do the job for a moment, his position is now changed by Dony Fauzan, because Mr. Arif has to hold a new task to develop Library Automation System.
