More Cultural Heritage Accessible via The European Library

More Cultural Heritage Accessible via The European Library

This year has seen more digitised items and collections of the European National Libraries added to The European Library.

• Czech Republic: Kramerius - a collection of 19th and 20th century digitised periodicals and monographs
• Denmark: An online archive of digital facsimiles of the works of Hans Christian Anderson.
• Estonia: DIGAR – a digital archive of publications from a wide range of public institutions in Estonia.
• Hungary: Corvinas, part of the Bibliotheca Corviniana. This was the second largest collection of books in Europe in the Renaissance period, after that of the Vatican.
• Latvia: A collection of digitised posters from culture, politics and the social life of Latvia from 1899 – 2000
• Slovakia: Memoria slovaca, Memory of Slovakia - a digital library of cultural and scientific heritage held by the Slovak National Library and other heritage institutions.

And, the national libraries of Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Serbia and Switzerland have added resources in maritime archaeology, maps, graphic art, rare manuscripts and children’s literature.

Currently, The European Library provides searchable access to collections from 19 of the 45 member libraries of the Conference of European National Librarians. In September a new project will be launched to bring the remaining EU/EFTA member states of Belgium, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain and Sweden into The European Library network as full-partners. As a result, by mid 2007, two thirds of CENL will be accessible via The European Library.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012
