The status of digitisation in Europe: extensive summary of the second LIBER-EBLIDA workshop on the digitisation of library materials in Europe

摘要

The 2nd LIBER-EBLIDA Digitisation Workshop took place in The Hague, hosted by Bas Savenije as National Librarian of The Netherlands, between 19-21 October 2009. In 6 sessions, the Workshop considered a wide range of issues from Business Models to Persistent Identifiers. The papers were all of high quality, marking out the LIBER-EBLIDA Digitisation Workshop as the meeting to discuss pan-European digitisation issues. Four BreakOut Groups helped to revise the LIBER Roadmap for pan-European digitisation. Assessing the impact of the Workshop, this paper identifies six top-level themes and questions to emerge from the 3 days of activity, which are summarised in the Conclusions to this paper.
