3. Access to National Libraries through The European Library The European Library started as an EU funded project, led by The British Library – now fully operational service Owned by CENL, funded solely by the National Libraries, The European Library has been live since 17 March 2005 Digital Collections from 32 National Libraries - Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy-Florence, Italy-Rome, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia-Moscow, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK 2008 – Adds the remaining Eastern European countries through Swiss Development Agency money and Bulgaria and Romania via TELplus and Russia St Petersburg and Turkey = 46 of 47 national libraries in CENL by end of 2008.

4. 360 collections 5,000,000 digitised items i.e.: pages, articles, audio and video records, books, web pages, etc. 100,000,000 plus metadata records – catalogues, union catalogues etc.

11. Little digitised – no clamour Most was under the z39:50 protocol and held in proprietary library systems using internal reference linking But Over next 2-5 years 100 million plus works to be digitised Born digital OAI-PMH for harvesting Access to National Libraries Resources & the need for Persistent Identifiers

12. CENL recommendations NBNs Appropriate Copy SURFnet IDF Foundation Access to National Libraries Resources & Current Status of Persistent Identifiers

13. CENL recommendations As guarantors of durable independent access to digital collections a resolution service has to be put in place This resolution service to be based on URNs primarily from the NBN namespace Each National Library has or will set up own resolver service to provide persistent access to its own collections. By agreeing and deploying standards and coordination for the local set up of such services automatically achieve the National Libraries Resolver Discovery Service URN service to also take into account other existing persistent identifier schemes To guarantee long term resolutions of DOIs, beyond commercial interest the requesters, under specified conditions, to be redirected by the DOI system to the National Libraries Resolver Service and therefore to digital deposit collections. Access to National Libraries Resources & Current Status of Persistent Identifiers

14. NBNs Because these were already in use Item not Work Appropriate Copy Resolver to possibly support enforcement of authorisation with additional identity management in place SURFnet Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Netherlands proposal for a Global Resolver of Persistent Identifiers. In cooperation with representatives of the Hopkins and Berkley Universities (US) a working proof of concept has been developed.

15. Lack of real or perceived need Not invented here Not in hock to someone else No centralised will Competition for Appropriate Copy Cost But these are also opportunities Access to National Libraries Resources Barriers to using DOIs

16. A common multilingual access point would make it possible to search Europes distributed – that is to say, held in different places by different organisations – digital cultural heritage online. Such an access point would increase its visibility and underline common features. The access point should build on existing initiatives such as The European Library (TEL), in which Europes libraries already cooperate. It should where possible closely associate private holders of rights in cultural material and all interested stakeholders. A strong commitment by the Member states and cultural institutions to arrive at such an access point should be encouraged. European Union Communiqué August 2006 EU Vision for a European digital library

17. For the users it is not important whether the sources of knowledge and experience are kept by archives, libraries or museums, but to get access to the sources they want, and to be able to use these sources across types of sources and sectors of institutions.
