The European Library Team appointed
"The European Library (TEL)" project was finished successfully on January
31, 2004. The key aim of TEL was to investigate the feasibility of
establishing a new Pan-European service which would ultimately give access
to the combined resources of the national libraries of Europe. The project
was partly funded by the European Commission as an accompanying measure
under the cultural heritage applications area of Key Action 3 of the
Information Societies Technology (IST) research programme. The project ran
for 36 months with the following partners: the Conference of European
National Librarians (CENL), the national libraries of Finland, Germany,
Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom,
along with ICCU, the national central cataloguing institute from Italy.
The results of the project build the basis for The European Library Service
which will be established under the aegis of the CENL by The European
Library Office, hosted by the Koninklijke Bibliotheek, the National Library
of the Netherlands in The Hague. The day-to-day work will be done by a small
team which is responsible for the management, the marketing, the
implementation and maintenance of the website and the portal as well as for
the technical support of the participants.
The team members are appointed now and will start to transfer the project
results into an operational service, including the parts of the current
European national libraries' webservice Gabriel which are of public
interest.
The team members are:
Jill Cousins from the UK is Head of the European Library Office and the
contact person for The European Library: [log in to unmask]
Olaf Janssen from the Netherlands is Web Assistant for The European Library
and the contact for the partners for content, presentation, use and
multi-lingual issues.
Julie Verleyen from France is Technical Assistant for The European Library
and the contact for the partners for technical infrastructure, harvesting,
the metadata registry, implementation of Z39.50/SRU, indexing and data
storage.
The European Library project website (www.europeanlibrary.org) as well as
Gabriel will remain online until the launch of The European Library. For
further information please contact the Head of the European Library Office.
On behalf of the TEL project partners,
