The US Library of Congress and other EU bodies issued a joint report on digital preservation and copyright.
"Users expect the interoperable": this is the tile of the upcoming conference of Europeana, Europe’s digital library, archive and museum.
Scheduled for June 23/24, in The Hague (Netherlands), the event will be devoted to discussion between archivists, curators, librarians and technical experts about the ways to bring digital content – sound, film, books, papers, museum objects - together in the Europeana repositories.
The first prototype of Europeana will also be previewed, and feedback sessions held so you can contribute to the development of the final prototype, which will launch in November.
With 120 delegates already booked, this will be an excellent opportunity to network with project members and contributors from across Europe.
For more information, please see the conference program.
