From: Nienke van Schaverbeke <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2013 15:27:54 +0100 The European Library is pleased to invite research and university libraries from across Europe to join our community of library professionals. We are a not-for-profit organisation managed by the national and research libraries of Europe, and steered by three influential library organisations: CENL, CERL, and LIBER. Joining us is a chance to make your collections more accessible to an international audience than ever before. The European Library already makes 200 million records from some 60 national and research library partners available to researchers and the broader public. Our highly efficient aggregation service ensures that all material submitted by our network is freely searchable via our website, cultural heritage portal Europeana and APIs. We also connect members of our network with their peers across the digital library sector, via inspiring conferences and enthusiastic working groups. Through these venues we discuss issues that matter to our profession. These include library marketing and communications techniques, and technical subjects such as data enrichment, full-text indexing and Linked Open Data.
