In this presentation Olaf Janssen - project & account manager at The European Library - talks about 18 years of cooperation between the national libraries of Europe.
He introduces national libraries in a European context and presents the history and benefits of their collaboration.
He outlines the development of The European Library (TEL) from the Gabriel project and the TELproject, and discusses how the TEL-ME-MOR project contributes to the growth of TEL.
I held this talk as an invited speaker during the NLB Conference "Celebrating Knowledge, The Power and Potential" on 15-11-2005, Singapore
Europeana Cloud – New Spaces for Sharing Content
Europeana Cloud is a Best Practice Network, coordinated by The European Library, designed to establish a cloud-based system for Europeana and its aggregators.
Lasting from 2013 to 2015, Europeana Cloud will provide new content, new metadata, a new linked storage system, new tools and services for researchers and a new platform - Europeana Research. Content providers and aggregators across the European information landscape urgently need a cheaper, more sustainable infrastructure that is capable of storing both metadata and content.
Researchers require a digital space where they can undertake innovative exploration and analysis of Europe's digitised content. Europeana needs to get closer to the target of 30 million items by 2015. Europeana Cloud meets these needs.

The European (Digital) Library - Overview and OutlookOlaf Janssen
The European Library (www.theeuropeanlibrary.org) is a multilingual portal offering integrated access to the tens of millions of resources (books, magazines, journals...) of 18 national libraries in Europe. It offers free searching and delivers both digital and non-digital objects. It provides a vast virtual collection of mate-rials from all disciplines. The European Library is currently being expanded with the holdings of the national libraries of the 10 EU New Member States. From September 2006 onwards the remaining EU and EFTA na-tional libraries will be connected to TheEuropeanLibrary.org, bringing the total number of participating na-tional libraries to ±35 by the end of 2008.
In the beginning of 2006 the EC expressed support for The European Library to evolve into a much bigger European Digital Library (EDL), including access to the digital collections of other major cultural heritage institutions, such as museums and archives. The EDL is planned to include the holdings of all European na-tional libraries and a minimum of 2M digital works by the end of 2008. By 2010 the EDL needs to have ex-panded to include collections of archives, museums and other libraries, with a minimum of 6M digital works.
The European Library aims to remain a major player in the European cultural heritage field and is already strengthening its cooperation with other relevant key initiatives, such as MACS, DELOS, MICHAEL, BRICKS and MINERVA.

Introduction and Literature Review. This must see webinar provides tips on writing the introduction and literature review sections of your dissertation. A step by step guide on using zotero (for bibliography and citation) is included, along with tips on searching, reading, organizing, and writing your literature review.
A literature review is a
“critical analysis of a segment of a published body of knowledge through summary, classification, and comparison of prior research studies, reviews of literature, and theoretical articles”
The literature review is not merely a simple compilation or a list of every item and resource with any possible relation to your topic. A good literature review is a critical appraisal of narrowly focused, selected and truly relevant work that provides the current status (perspective) of the topic. This presentation basically is a brief guide on the process of doing and writing a literature review for a thesis, research proposal, research paper, etc.
Literature Review (Review of Related Literature - Research Methodology)Dilip Barad
Literature Review or Review of Related Literature is one of the most vital stages in any research. This presentation attempts to throw some light on the process and important aspects of literature review.

Building The European Digital Library - An Insider’s Point of View Olaf Janssen
In December 2004 Google announced its plans to digitise and publish millions of books from 5 prestigious Anglo-American academic libraries by the year 2015. Initiated by French fears that Google's initiative could create a bias towards Anglo-American language and culture, Europe quickly united to mobilise funds for the digitisation, preservation and accessibility of European cultural heritage and the creation of a European Digital Library, including 6M digital works from libraries, muse-ums and archives by 2010.
Today The European Library (TEL) is a multilingual portal offering integrated access to the tens of millions of resources of Europe's national libraries. It offers free federated searching and delivers digital objects - some free, some priced.
The EU stressed that the European Digital Library should not be constructed from scratch, but build on existing initia-tives such as TEL, because TEL has a long history of successfully implementing and using some of the vital ingredients for the European Digital Library. These include A) internal & external collaboration and cooperative organisational networks, B) a technological platform based on creating, maintaining and conforming to common standards in i) data harvesting and ac-cess protocols, ii) metadata and iii) collection descriptions and C) multilingual access.
The reader will 1) learn what it takes to build a pan-European Digital Library, 2) find out about the history and future of this project and C) discover that this a win-win-win project: for its users, for its builders, and for world knowledge.

Knowledge and Wisdom: the role of research libraries in supporting the Europe...LIBER Europe
The paper will set the scene for challenges facing research libraries in Europe using the the United Kingdom (UK) experience as exemplar. Included will be a look at pan-European development to bring resource discovery to the network layer highlighting two developments: Europeana, Libraries and Research; and, as a case study, the introduction of the Primo search engine into UCL Library Services (University College London) in the UK. In addition, Open Access to research publications and its potential impact on the dissemination of scholarly research outputs will be examined including PEER's (Publishing and the Ecology of European Research) investigation of the effects of the large-scale, systematic depositing of authors’ final peer reviewed accepted manuscripts (so-called Green Open Access) with the aim of providing input for evidence-based policy-making in the area of Green Open Access. Also, two examples of Gold Open Access will be illustrated: Gold Open Access monograph publishing and the development of Gold ‘overlay journals’. This will be followed by a look at Research Data and the importance of data-driven science concentrating on three exemplars from the UK. The requirements for the storage and preservation of research data will be explored and the potential of tools offered by Ex Libris investigated to see what it required. Finally, the paper will map the findings of the paper in terms of network developments, Open Access to research publications, and the storage and re-use of research data against the findings of the opening section – the strategic needs of European research Universities. This paper will end by identifying how the technical developments outlined in the paper need to be aligned with the top-level strategic needs of European Universities in order for research libraries to support their home Universities.
Europeana er ein felles fleirspråkleg portal som gir brukarane tilgang til digitalt materiale frå ABM institusjonar i heile Europa. Komen vil fortelje om uviklinga av Europeana, demonstrere Europeana-prototypen og gi eit oversyn over relaterte prosjekt.

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."
