The Europeana Libraries project is working to make 5 million digital objects from 19 leading European research libraries freely accessible on The European Library and Europeana websites.
Spanish civil war photographs, Ottoman manuscripts, historic medical films and thousands of theses, journals and academic articles are among the digital resources that Europeana Libraries is working with. When the Project finishes at the end of 2012, it will have created:
- A valuable resource for scholars, with full-text search capabilities for written works
- A robust network of national, university and research libraries
- An efficient aggregation model that can be used by research libraries across Europe
Brainstorming Results from the Kick-Off Meeting
Three new mindmaps show the results of workshops held during the Europeana Libraries Kick-Off Meeting.
The first mindmap outlines factors in the business environment that may affect Europeana Libraries, including Customer Needs, the Economic Climate and Political Factors. These were discussed during the first workshop.
The second and third mindmaps show the result of workshops where participants worked in groups to discuss the topics of Usage and Sustainability.
