2. The name "Scholars Portal" was suggested by USC library faculty member Deborah Holmes-Wong. Following her suggestion, these domain name variants were reserved: scholarsportal.org; scholarsportal.edu; and scholarsportal.com. For purposes of this paper, the identifying phrase "scholars portal" will be italicized and utilized without an apostrophe.
3. Some members of the commercial publishing industry may be taking a step in the direction of solving a portion of this problem through the development of the Digital Object Identifier, an identification system that would allow the linking of web-based information across the databases of different publishers.
