9. The aims of the project
1. Bring to Europeana the digital collections of some of
Europe’s leading research libraries from 11 countries
2. Be the first project to offer digital collections where the text
will be fully searchable
3. Establish systems and processes capable of ingesting and
indexing significant quantities of digitised material … The
outcome will be an efficient and effective library-domain
aggregator service for Europeana

21. "We are involved here in Switzerland with two national
projects and that gives us some experience with
collaboration but this – on a European level – is quite
new for us. As a Swiss library, we have almost no
possibilities to take part in European projects. We want
to gain experience in technical workflows and it’s also
very important for us that we have more visibility of our
collections outside of Switzerland."
Dr. Urs Fischer, Chief Librarian of the Special
Collections of the Zentralbibliothek Zürich
23. Some broader
results :
A technical infrastructure
also requires a
sustainable business
model
The project Business
Plan directs the future
business model of The
European Library
24. The next steps
• Libraries remain the most important aggregator for
Europeana (18% of records)
26. Europeana Libraries as
a springboard for further
projects – Europeana
Cloud, Europeana Closer working practices

DARIAH and CLARIN
27. Research and
“The launch of the new European Library website is an
exciting event that represents another important library
national
connection
development in the way researchers can gain access
to digitised sources from Europe’s national and at
forged
research libraries. The launch also holds a special level
European
significance for the National Library of Wales as we are
named as a contributor to the European Library for the
first time. As an institution we are proud to be able to
extend access to some of our most important digital
collections to the European stage”
Andrew Green, Chief Librarian,
National Library of Wales

Existing Portal and processes based on outmoded technologies - overlapping user groups with Europeana No integration with research libraries. Potential for them to go their own way Little contact between CERL, LIBER and CENL >> Europeana Libraries created within this context
