Improving Library Services - Outcomes of EDL project Knowledge Sharing Works

Developing more web-services, recommending OAI-PMH compliance and using FRBR techniques in The European Library were all recommendations from the EDLproject Knowledge Sharing Workshop.

While formulating practical actions to further develop the web services of The European Library portal, the workshop also proved to be a good opportunity for EDLproject participants to work with members of The European Library network in a hands-on setting.

The Workshop, organised by The European Library Office, took place in The National Library of The Netherlands. View the full press-release in PDF format.

A Mini Searchbox for all EDLproject partners

The European Library has developed a mini version of its searchbox that website owners can easily install on their own site. See
http://libraries.theeuropeanlibrary.org/minisearchbox_en.html


This mini library gives direct and centralised access to Europe’s national libraries. This means webmasters can offer their users:

• quick check whether a national library has digitised a particular item


• shortcut to reliable information and material (books, photos, maps, images, films, etc.) from all over Europe.
