Report from the NEDLIB workshop 15th December 2000 - Setting up Deposit Systems for Electronic Publications (DSEP) Over 90 people from across Europe and a number of delegates from further afield including Australia and the United States attended this workshop at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB) in The Hague to mark the end of the NEDLIB research project and celebrate its results. NEDLIB is an EU funded collaborative project of European national libraries researching digital preservation and the basic infrastructure upon which a networked European digital deposit library can be built. The workshop offered library and archive staff the possibility to learn from and communicate with the NEDLIB partners about the project results. The programme covered deposit design and modelling work, web-archiving, practical guidelines for deposit libraries, standards for e-publishing, digital preservation strategies and technical solutions. The programme addressed two different target groups: · Managers (Heads of relevant library departments, such as Preservation Departments and ICT Departments; Project Managers of Digital Library Programmes) · Technical experts (staff Research & ICT Dept; Digital Collections Management) Six publications are being produced to disseminate work from the NEDLIB project.
