Random Quotes
"If we act collectively we have the chance to create a digital library
environment that we control, and which will suit our users much better than
the one which Googlezon threatens to provide. We can give our learning and
research communities much better tools and much stronger content than
Googlezon will ever manage, since it can ultimately only be a toy of
consumer markets. We have a mission which runs deeper, with values based
upon the activity of research - and learning led by research - that is not
dependent upon the state of the stock market nor led by the entertainment
industry." John MacColl, extract from a UKEiG presentation, 21 June 2005,
CILIP, London. Quoted in eLucidate Vol 2, Issue 5, September/October 2005.

proposes a concerted drive by EU Member States to digitise, preserve, and
make this heritage available to all. It presents a first set of actions at
European level and invites comments on a series of issues in an online
consultation (deadline for replies 20 January 2006). The replies will feed
into a proposal for a Recommendation on digitisation and digital
preservation, to be presented in June 2006.
