European Commission Steps up Efforts to Put Europe's Memory on the Web

"The Commission today published an overview of the results of a major online consultation on the digital libraries initiative which had been launched on 30 September 2005. Link to PDF
The 225 replies came from libraries, archives and museums (46%), publishers and right holders (19%) and universities/academics (14%). The replies generally welcome the initiative and see it as an opportunity for making Europe?s cultural heritage more accessible and usable on the Internet. They also show that opinions are divided on copyright issues, in particular between cultural institutions and right holders." Resource Shelf 3/2/06
