Cultural heritage embraces resources inherited from the past and offers a great variety of opportunities to the present: monuments, sites and traditions, but also visual arts, cinema, TV and radio archives.
In this framework, the Media of the Euro-Mediterranean region – both traditional and new ones – have to play their role, particularly given the challenges that such issue implies in terms of content production, audiovisual documents preservation and impact of the digital transition as a tool for the safeguard and enhancement of our common heritage.

This document summarizes the Europeana project and EUscreen project. Europeana aggregates metadata from content providers and makes it searchable. It provides enriched data back to providers. The EUscreen project builds on prior work to provide access to digitized television content from across Europe. It aims to develop technical and community solutions to support interoperable audiovisual collections.
The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (NISV) manages over 70% of Dutch audiovisual heritage in its collection, including over a million hours of television, radio, music and film from 1898 to present. NISV aims to make as much of its collection publicly available online as possible under various open licenses, while obtaining permissions for material with third party rights. Its Open Images platform shares over 150 hours each of video and audio openly online, which has been reused over 160 million times on Wikipedia and elsewhere, though this represents only 0.03% of NISV's total collection.

Sound Connections pilot @ Europeana Creative Culture Jam 2015, VIennaLizzy Komen
Lizzy Komen from the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision presented the "Sound Connections" social networks pilot. The pilot allows communities to explore and enrich sound collections from several cultural institutions through a social networking platform. Partners in the pilot include the British Library, Historypin, Ontotext, and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. The pilot connects thousands of audio tracks from each institution. Users can tag and comment on sounds, and cultural institutions receive notifications about user contributions. Historypin has extended the platform by allowing other institutions to host collections and by increasing scale through projects on the First World War Centenary Hub.

A typed journal from WWI passed on through generations fuels a young man's dreams of time travel and allows us to explore the power of personal stories and photos. Together with archival collections, these items take us through space and time, and the magical ability of cultural memory institutions to help individuals bring these incredibly compelling dreams to life. The World Wide Web provides the cultural, technological, and legal frameworks to open the doors to innovation and imagination, and also enables libraries, archives and museums the world over to play a critical role. We explore some of the diverse efforts to bring stories and memory to life in new ways, while also fostering open data and preservation, and the pros and cons at the intersection of public domain and private enterprise.
Findings of the study commissioned by the European Parliament's Cult committee on understanding the role that European Cultural institutes could play in the EU's external relations
Address to the conference ‘Museums in the Digital Sphere: Opportunities and Challenges’ held on 6 October 2017 at the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany.
The event provided an opportunity to analyse the needs and wishes of museum visitors in the 21st century and to open up topics such as digital collections, transparency, and open access to public discussion. It addressed technical restrictions (databases, structures, resources) and legal limitations (copyright, image rights) as well as the opportunities created by interlinking multiple collections in comprehensive platforms such as the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (German Digital Library – DDB), ‘bavarikon’, Europeana and introduce initiatives such as #openGLAM.
Douglas presented Europeana, a unique digital resource where thousands of cultural institutions – from regional archives to national museums – share their collections online. Douglas emphasised the benefits of working with Europeana's community of 1700+ digital heritage and tech experts to expand and improve access to our shared cultural heritage. He outlined the opportunities for cultural institutions to showcase their collections with Europeana and to engage citizens within and beyond Europe.
This document provides a business plan for Europeana in 2016. It outlines 4 main goals: 1) Create value for partners by improving the customer experience and focusing on networking, 2) Improve data quality by transforming how cultural heritage is made available and reaching higher quality standards, 3) Open the data by developing community services and championing interoperability, and 4) Strengthen the organization through long-term funding and organizational transformation. Objectives are defined for each goal around areas like ensuring a better user experience, large partnerships, changing how data is ingested, and achieving sustainability. The plan explores focusing on specific cultural domains like art, music, fashion and newspapers in 2016.

Slides from Andrew Stauffer's presentation at the "Looking to the Future of Shared Print" session held at the ALA Annual Conference on June 27, 2014 in Las Vegas, NV.
This document discusses the growing issue of limited physical space in academic libraries in North America, with nearly 1 billion volumes currently held. It outlines the lack of good options libraries face, such as mass weeding or stopping new acquisitions. The rise of shared print agreements across regions is presented as a solution, allowing libraries to archive print collections cooperatively while retaining access. Key shared print programs and their features are summarized, as are emerging efforts focused on archiving print monographs. The document argues for continued collaboration on shared print to help preserve the overall print record in a sustainable way.

This document provides an overview of the Maine Shared Collections Strategy, a collaborative effort between academic, public, and special libraries in Maine to develop a shared print collections strategy. It describes the participating institutions and goals to determine what print materials can be retained long-term by the collaborative in an efficient shared collection, while other materials can be discarded to alleviate space issues. The strategy utilizes collection analysis and considers large-scale digital collections available to help determine retention decisions and future governance.

This document provides background information on the Maine Shared Collections Strategy (MSCS) project. It discusses the origins and objectives of the project, which aims to develop a sustainable strategy for managing print monograph and journal collections across several Maine libraries. The objectives include analyzing collections for duplication and usage, identifying materials available digitally, defining retention responsibilities, and implementing on-demand services. It provides an overview of the project partners and groups involved. It also summarizes the progress made so far, including collection analysis, models for print and digital management, and developing a collection management and business model.
Shared print Collections in North America: Going Main Stream and Picking Up S...Maine_SharedCollections
This document summarizes the growing activity and infrastructure supporting shared print collections in North America. It discusses how shared print programs have grown from a few pilot programs over a decade ago to include dozens of consortia with over 400 libraries holding about 20,000 journal titles and 5 million monographs collectively. Key shared print programs and their holdings are described. The document also outlines the analysis, registry, community, and consulting support that is building the necessary infrastructure for shared print. It concludes by arguing we are just at the beginning of large-scale shared print collections that will reclaim space while preserving print for the long-term.
The document outlines a meeting to discuss a collaborative project between several Maine libraries to analyze circulation data and holdings to make data-driven decisions about retaining and withdrawing print monograph collections in a sustainable shared collection strategy. Key players from the participating libraries and experts from Sustainable Collections will analyze data extracted from the libraries and use it to develop retention and withdrawal scenarios to guide collaborative collection management decisions. A multi-step process is proposed to clean and analyze the data, develop scenarios, facilitate discussions, and produce lists of titles for retention and withdrawal for each individual library.
This document summarizes a presentation about a shared print retention project in Maine called the Maine Shared Collection Strategy (MSCS). The project aims to identify materials held by partner libraries that can be retained for long-term access, reducing duplication. Partners extracted data on over 2.7 million circulating titles. These were analyzed based on circulation rates, holdings in other libraries, and relevance to Maine. Titles with low circulation or holdings were divided into those that libraries committed to retain long-term, and those needing further examination. The analysis supported the first phase of identifying materials for shared retention.

- It focuses on helping smaller institutions overcome interoperability issues and make their metadata harvestable according to Europeana standards.
- Through EuropeanaLocal, millions of additional items from local and regional partners across Europe have been added to Europeana, significantly expanding its scope and cultural coverage.
LoCloud: Local content in the Europeana cloud overview, Kate Fernielocloud
The LoCloud project aims to add over 4 million digital resources from small and medium-sized cultural institutions to Europeana. It seeks to make it easier for these institutions to provide quality content and increase local history and heritage resources available. This will enable more views of content related to local areas for education, tourism, and creativity. The project is funded by the European Commission and involves cultural organizations across Europe digitizing collections and publishing them online through Europeana to transform the world with culture.

Europe’s cultural heritage: From digitisation to creative re-useLizzy Komen
Presentation at Citex 2014 conference (http://www.bilisim.org.tr/) in Ankara, Turkey on 7 November 2014. Titel: 'Europe’s cultural heritage:
From digitisation to creative re-use'. Presentation includes highlights of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision digitisation project, Europeana, Digital Agenda for Europe and Europeana Creative
Europeana Inside is an EU-funded project that aims to increase the amount and diversity of content contributed to Europeana by cultural institutions. It involves 28 participants across 12 European nations. The project will develop open-source connection kits to simplify the process of contributing content by automating workflows and allowing institutions to better manage rights and permissions. It seeks to address legal, technical and financial barriers to participation through these tools and by integrating them into collection management systems. The goal is to add 960,000 new records to Europeana from a variety of European cultural organizations over the project's 30 month duration.
The document discusses Europeana, a digital platform that provides access to over 30 million digitized cultural heritage objects from European libraries, museums, archives, and audiovisual collections. It outlines Europeana's history, from early projects linking national libraries online in the 2000s to its current role as one of the European Commission's Digital Service Infrastructures. The document also describes how Europeana supports reuse of cultural content through pilot applications, challenges for entrepreneurs, and an open laboratory network called Europeana Labs. Living labs are discussed as real-life environments where users and producers co-create innovations.
Towards more smart, connected and open audiovisual archivesJohan Oomen
As a result of digitisation of analogue holdings and working processes, more and more material from audiovisual archies is being made available online. This marks a transformative shift, as archives and users are now sharing the same information space. Once digital and part of an open network, objects from audiovisual archives can be shared, recommended, remixed, embedded, cited, referenced to and so on. It is a far cry from several years ago, when users were obliged to visit brick and mortar institutions to access collections. This shift towards digital enables archives to fulfil their pubic missions better; crossing geographical boundaries, using new channels for content distribution, engage with user groups and use new technologies to make work processes more efficient and allow for new access points to collections. It also introduces fundamental challenges, forcing audiovisual archives to [1] rethink their role and function in the value chain of media production and modern society at large, [2] assess which activities and competences are vital to succeed in a digital context.
We envision the future audiovisual archives to be smart, connected and open; using smart technologies to optimise workflows for annotation and content distribution. Collaborating with third parties to co-design and co-develop new technologies in order to manifest themselves as frontrunners rather than followers. Being connected to other sources of information (other collections, contextual sources), to a variety of often niche user communities, researchers and the creative industries. To embrace the use of standards defined by external instances rather than by the cultural heritage communities themselves. Fully embrace ‘open’ as the default to have maximum impact in society: applying open licences for content delivery, using open source software and open standards wherever possible. Promote open access to publications and so on.
This keynote examines how the public mission of archives (i.e. supporting a myriad of users to utilize collections to learn, experience and create) can be achieved in a digital context. It addresses the challenges related to the role and function of institutions and provides practical insights in how archives can establish a culture of innovation to manage challenges they face today. It addresses some of the major questions audiovisual archives are faced with today.

Together we are Stronger: A Cooperative Approach to Managing Print CollectionsMaine_SharedCollections
The document summarizes the Maine Shared Collections Strategy (MSCS) project. MSCS is a collaborative effort between academic, public, and special libraries in Maine to develop a shared print retention program and integrated print-digital collection management. The project analyzed circulation data to determine which print volumes should be retained long-term and developed policies for disclosing retention decisions. MSCS also aims to expand access to digital collections through print-on-demand and e-book-on-demand services.
This document discusses best practices and lessons learned for data wrangling projects. It emphasizes starting projects by defining goals and intended outcomes. Common challenges discussed include inconsistent data encoding, missing fields, and unexpected data issues. The document provides tips for investigating data exports, mapping fields, and using tools like MarcEdit to clean data when problems arise. The overall message is that real-world library data is messy and may vary across systems.

Matthew Revitt's June 6th, 2013 presentation from the Library Journal Data-Driven Libraries Part 1: Analyzing Data to Manage Print Collections webinar.
The document discusses the transition from print to e-text and the challenges libraries face in developing shared print and digital collections. It notes the transition is uneven, inevitable, and controversial. Shared print collections require determining the right number of copies needed, legal issues around digitized books, and business models for licensing electronic texts. The document also examines which types of materials are best suited for electronic formats and print, and the work still needed to support electronic texts in shared collections, such as improving reading devices and establishing demand models.
This document contains data on the circulation statistics of various library collections. It shows the average circulation across all titles was 2.08. Colgate has the most titles circulated over 10,000, while Vassar appears to have more titles with heavy circulation above 10. The document considers whether any title holdings from the subsets analyzed should be withdrawn.
