Post-Gutenberg “What are the pressures, from your
point of view driving the retention or otherwise of print collections. Do you think that there will be an availability or should there be, of print collections across this section of the world. This should be especially in the context of Google Books. Europe has such a rich tradition emerging from Gutenberg. What is post-Gutenberg for the print collections?”

Europeana The European
Commission’s goal for Europeana is to make European information resources easier to use in an online environment. It will build on Europe’s rich heritage, combining multicultural and multilingual environments with technological advances and new business models.
This is a project managed mainly by librarians and historians, unlike the crowdsourced phenomena such as Wikipedia
Europeana and Gallica collections are distributed and libraries
are using technology to aggregate links rather than objects.
These are hugely popular Europeana crashed on launch Added value digitisation

COAR – Launched 21st October 2009
“The networking of online publications and research data sets will open new opportunities for research and the teaching of all disciplines in the 21st century”, said the founding Chairperson, Dr Norbert Lossau, Director of the State and University Library of Goettingen, emphasising the significance of COAR. “As proven managers of information, libraries are working hand in hand with information specialists, computer scientists and researchers to lend reality to a world-wide network of scientific repositories.” Norbert Lossau, Confederation of Open Access Repositories
