News from The European Library
The European Library has been developing a mini version of its searchbox
that website owners can easily install on their own site. The European
Library searchbox is now available to install for free. See:
http://libraries.theeuropeanlibrary.org/minisearchbox_en.html
This searchbox gives direct and centralised access to Europe's national
libraries. This means you can offer your users:
- a quick check whether a national library has digitised a particular
item
- a shortcut to reliable information and material (books, photos, maps,
images, films, etc.) from all over Europe.
To get results your visitors only need to enter a search term in the
box.
Background information:
The European Library is a service provided by the Conference of European
National Librarians (CENL). It offers free access to the combined
resources of the national libraries of Europe. The service is aimed at
everyone who wants a powerful and simple way of finding (digital)
library materials.
Moreover, it is expected to attract researchers as there is a vast
collection of high-quality, deep-web material from all disciplines.
TEL is the organizational driver for the European Digital Library. This
European Commission initiative will encompass not only libraries but
also museums, archives and other holders of cultural heritage content.
In short - The European Library is a highly reliable educational tool
and a unique source for information from across Europe.
