The European Library: now open to research libraries throughout Europe

摘要

The European Library is pleased to invite research and university libraries from across Europe to join its community of library professionals. Joining The European Library offers libraries a chance to make their collections more accessible to an international audience than ever before. The European Library is a not-for-profit organisation managed by the national and research libraries of Europe, and steered by three influential library organisations: The Conference of European National Librarians (CENL), the Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL), and Ligue des Bibliotheques Europeennes de Recherche - Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER). The European Library already makes 200 million records from some 60 national and research library partners available to researchers and the broader public. A highly efficient aggregation service ensures that all material submitted by the European Library's network is freely searchable via its web site, cultural heritage portal Europeana, and APIs.
