Bowen begins by recounting the rapid growth of Iter between its founding in 1995 and its establishment as a main database in 1998. Within this period the Iter project received 2 substantial Mellon grants, financial and labour support from several other organizations, and witnessed the database subscriptions reach 115 institutions. Bowen continues by discussing the search and view functions of the site. With a goal of reaching 500,000 record by the end of 2001, Bowen explores the thoughtful design that has accompanied the creation of Iter{\textquoteright}s resource database. Finally, in conclusion, Bowen discusses the future plans for the project. Among these is the goal of providing access to materials "in new and exciting ways which are not always possible or practical in a print environment."},
