WELcomE fRom thE PREsIdEnt of <strong>LIBER</strong><br />
As President of <strong>LIBER</strong> I am pleased to<br />
welcome colleagues from all over Europe<br />
to the 39th Annual Conference. I also<br />
warmly welcome guests from other<br />
organisations, partners and sponsors,<br />
who support the work of <strong>LIBER</strong>. This<br />
Conference is being hosted by State and<br />
University Library and Aarhus University.<br />
We are delighted to be meeting in Aarhus<br />
in Denmark at one of the top universities<br />
in Europe, a university with strong international<br />
links and with excellent facilities.<br />
The Conference Programme this year is<br />
markedly different from previous Conferences.<br />
There will be a small number of<br />
keynote addresses by leading experts<br />
in the information sector, all very much<br />
future oriented and linked to the theme<br />
of the Conference. Recent Conference<br />
evaluations have indicated, however, that<br />
delegates would like to have more time<br />
for discussion, more interaction and more<br />
diversity. The Conference organizers have<br />
taken this into account and have adapted<br />
the format of the Annual Conference to<br />
meet these wishes. A variety of master<br />
classes, open meetings of the <strong>LIBER</strong> Steering<br />
Committees, parallel sessions, poster<br />
sessions and break out groups reflect<br />
the Board’s ambition to benefit from the<br />
participation and the ‘know how’ of both<br />
senior and young professionals and to<br />
stimulate interaction during the Conference.<br />
The theme of the Conference is ‘Reinventing<br />
the Library’. We will discuss the<br />
role of the research library in e-science<br />
and e-learning, the mass digitisation and<br />
preservation of library collections, and<br />
the challenges for the management of the<br />
‘re-invented library’.<br />
<strong>LIBER</strong> represents the interests of research<br />
libraries in Europe, national libraries,<br />
university libraries and the libraries of<br />
important research centres. This means<br />
that we seek to combine our responsibility<br />
for heritage collections with a pro-active<br />
role in serving user needs in the digital<br />
environment and exploring new and innovative<br />
services for teaching, learning and<br />
research. The Annual Conference plays<br />
an important role in the Board’s professional<br />
activities, but <strong>LIBER</strong> is also engaged<br />
in many others. Since the successful Annual<br />
Conference in Toulouse in July 2009,<br />
<strong>LIBER</strong> has organised in co-operation with<br />
partners:<br />
• A successful 2nd <strong>LIBER</strong>/EBLIDA Workshop<br />
on Digitisation of Library Material<br />
in The Hague (October 2009)<br />
• The 15th <strong>LIBER</strong> Architecture Group<br />
Seminar in Madrid (April 2010)<br />
• The 4th Conference of the Manuscripts<br />
Librarians Group in Rome (May 2010)<br />
• The 17th Conference of the <strong>LIBER</strong><br />
Groupe des Cartothécaires (June 2010)<br />
Meetings and conferences should lead<br />
to actions and initiatives. <strong>LIBER</strong> wishes to<br />
make a difference in a number of areas of<br />
professional activity and to stimulate the<br />
development of new and better services.<br />
<strong>LIBER</strong> Steering Committees are playing a<br />
crucial role in this and I invite you to take<br />
part in their activities on:<br />
• Scholarly Communication<br />
• Digitisation and Resource Discovery<br />
• Heritage Collections and Preservation<br />
• Organisation and Human Resources<br />
• <strong>LIBER</strong> Services<br />
I should like to emphasize our support<br />
for the development of Europeana in<br />
close co-operation with Museums and ><br />

WELcomE<br />
Archives and with CENL, the organisation<br />
of national libraries in Europe. Our aim<br />
is to include the rich material from all important<br />
research libraries in this European<br />
portal. <strong>LIBER</strong> is willing and able to act as<br />
an aggregator for our members and to<br />
encourage their involvement in European<br />
projects in support of the creation of a<br />
real European Digital Library.<br />
<strong>LIBER</strong>’s activities in the modernization of<br />
the copyright position in Europe, digitization<br />
and preservation are closely linked<br />
with this European ambition. In these<br />
areas we can only make real progress in<br />
close co-operation with Europe’s national<br />
library associations and European organisations<br />
such as EBLIDA.<br />
Our sponsors are major contributors to<br />
the success of our professional activities.<br />
I would like to thank our Gold Sponsors<br />
– ProQuest Information and Learning,<br />
ExLibris, Preservation Technologies, OCLC<br />
Emea, Elsevier, Swets and EBSCO – and<br />
our Silver Sponsors – Springer and Belser<br />
Wissenschaftlicher Dienst – for all their<br />
support.<br />
Finally, I would like to thank our hosts, in<br />
particular Svend Larsen, Library Director<br />
of State and University Library, and<br />
Carsten Riis, Dean of Faculty of Theology,<br />
Aarhus University. I would also like to<br />
thank the dedicated staff of the library<br />
and university for their work in the preparation<br />
of this Conference.<br />
I wish all participants a successful, stimulating<br />
and enjoyable Conference.<br />

We are pleased to welcome participants<br />
in the 39th <strong>LIBER</strong> annual conference to<br />
Aarhus University and to the State and<br />
University Library.<br />
Aarhus University is a growing international<br />
university. With a budget of DKK<br />
5.6 billion (or 752 million Euro), a staff of<br />
9,200 and more than 38,000 students the<br />
university is a visible part of international<br />
higher education. Aarhus University is<br />
responsible for 23 % of higher education<br />
in Denmark. The university has 1,700<br />
PhD students (many from abroad), is<br />
responsible for 26 % of national university<br />
research and plays an important part in<br />
the national innovation system.<br />
For many years the university’s main academic<br />
areas were: arts and humanities;<br />
theology; social science and law; medicine;<br />
science. During the past few years,<br />
the university has worked hard and spent<br />
considerable resources on completing the<br />
mergers with the four new main academic<br />
areas: the Aarhus School of Business, the<br />
Danish School of Education, the Faculty<br />
of Agricultural Sciences and the National<br />
Environmental Institute. Many synergies<br />
of the mergers have already been fulfilled<br />
and efforts are now focussed on forms of<br />
new multidisciplinarity, ground-breaking<br />
research and attractive degree combinations.<br />
There are definitely challenges in<br />
this for library services!<br />
Library services to the nine main academic<br />
areas of Aarhus University are supplied<br />
by faculty and departmental libraries and<br />
the State and University Library. There is<br />
a long tradition of cooperation between<br />
Aarhus University libraries as well as between<br />
libraries nationally. The State and<br />
University Library has a special role in<br />
this, due to its unique combination of tasks<br />
as university library, national library and<br />
centre for shared services for the public<br />
libraries. We hope that the conference will<br />
give an impression of the ”Danish way”<br />
of reinventing the library. At the same<br />
time we are confident that we can learn<br />
from others, the conference thus being a<br />
source of inspiration for further development<br />
of library based services in support<br />
of education and research.<br />
We want to thank the exhibitors and<br />
sponsors: Gold and Silver <strong>LIBER</strong> sponsors<br />
and local sponsors and exhibitors whose<br />
contributions have made it possible to<br />
keep the high standards for <strong>LIBER</strong> conferences.<br />
Thanks also to DEFF, Denmark’s<br />
Electronic Research Library, for generous<br />
support.<br />

This session will focus on using communication<br />
tools and techniques to reach,<br />
influence and listen to the full range of<br />
stakeholders for an academic library.<br />
Librarians have a lot to communicate,<br />
they have to help people navigate a<br />
vast collection of information, they have<br />
to listen to their users and adapt their<br />
services to suit their needs and they need<br />
to prove the value of their service to<br />
senior managers. A good communication<br />
strategy and a willingness to experiment<br />
and adapt are the essential tools in effective<br />
communication. This session will<br />
use a mixture of presentation, discussion<br />
and demonstration to arm delegates with<br />
practical advice on developing strategy,<br />
communicating to different audiences and<br />
useful websites and tools.<br />

the role of the librarian in it<br />
University and government administration<br />
increasingly wish to base their policy<br />
decisions on measurable data. This spans<br />
from monitoring research production to<br />
actual bibliometric research assessments<br />
based on advanced publication and citation<br />
analysis. Based on the experiences<br />
in carrying out research evaluation for<br />
clients this talk gives an introduction to<br />
some of the most used methods for bibliometric<br />
research evaluation, discusses their<br />
pros, cons and pitfalls and the dilemma of<br />
taking part in such exercises as librarians.<br />
Kurt De Belder: In this master class we will<br />
focus on major transitions facing academic<br />
libraries. Such changes include the use<br />
of library space, the virtual library, the<br />
rise of Google searching, and the move<br />
toward digital content. How are changes<br />
to the university’s role affecting academic<br />
libraries. Which future demands will we<br />
face as libraries and librarians and which<br />
roles and functions do we expect to take<br />
on and which will be dropped? Furthermore,<br />
some existing functions could/<br />
should be outsourced. How do we start<br />
preparing for these changes and what is<br />
the impact on the library organisation?<br />
The new roles and functions will also put<br />
new demands on the required skills, competencies<br />
and behaviors of staff. How do<br />
we manage these changes? What type of<br />
organisation will we need to be in 5 to 10<br />
years?<br />

Denmark’s Electronic Research Library<br />
(DEFF in Danish) is a co-operative<br />
organisation for Danish research and<br />
education libraries. DEFF was launched in<br />
1998 and after a 5-year project period,<br />
DEFF became a permanent item on the<br />
Danish Finance Act - its funding shared<br />
by three ministries; the Ministry of Culture,<br />
the Ministry of Education and the Ministry<br />
of Science, Technology and Innovation<br />
respectively.<br />
During this 12-year period DEFF has been<br />
the framework for the digital development<br />
of the participating libraries. DEFF activities<br />
include, but are not limited to, acquisition<br />
of licensed electronic resources, development<br />
of search and delivery systems,<br />
implementation of institutional repositories<br />
and international co-operation.<br />
From January 1st 2009 DEFF serves the<br />
libraries in the upper secondary schools,<br />
adult education centres, social and health<br />
schools, university colleges and universities<br />
as well. This means that most of the<br />
future Danish workforce will grow up with<br />
access to digital knowledge and will develop<br />
skills to handle that knowledge. This<br />
is unique and provides exceptional conditions<br />
for the support of Danish economic<br />
growth after the end of the recession. The<br />
new Government Bill is named “Denmark<br />
2020, Knowledge > Growth > Prosperity<br />
> Welfare”, and DEFF intends to support<br />
this goal with a new strategic framework.<br />

We are seeing enormous changes in<br />
scholarly practice in all disciplines. This<br />
includes an expansion of the kinds of<br />
evidence that scholars use, the ways in<br />
which they pursue scholarly inquiry, and<br />
the ways in which they document and<br />
communicate the results of their work.<br />
I will survey some of these changes in<br />
the humanities, the social sciences, and<br />
the sciences, and use these as a point of<br />
departure in sketching ways in which research<br />
libraries must evolve to keep pace<br />
with developing practices in the scholarly<br />
communities.<br />

Almost every aspect of our lives – business<br />
to pollution – now extends beyond<br />
national borders. Many of the really big<br />
issues of our times, engaging many people<br />
around the world, including scholars,<br />
are global in scope, such as figuring out<br />
how to resolve global warming, or finding<br />
new approaches to economics that will<br />
bring us not only prosperity, but also<br />
sustainability and stability. This session<br />
will argue that we are beginning to see<br />
signs of a much-needed emerging global<br />
public sphere, and explore the key role<br />
of the research library, working locally at<br />
each organisation and globally through<br />
networks such as <strong>LIBER</strong>, SPARC, and OAI,<br />
in founding and supporting a global<br />
public sphere of knowledge that is freely<br />
accessible to all – and some practical tips<br />

There has been much discussion over the<br />
past 18 months about the financial difficulties<br />
that academic libraries are facing, and expect<br />
to face in the next few years. A number<br />
of bodies including the American Library<br />
Association, UKSG, and JISC in the UK have<br />
begun to gather evidence on these issues. But<br />
there has been little in the way of attempts<br />
to consolidate and analyse this evidence<br />
systematically to draw an accurate picture of<br />
the actual experience of libraries from across<br />
the sector, or their plans for dealing with the<br />
prospect of cuts in their budgets.<br />
This presentation draws on the work referred<br />
to above, as well as evidence from an<br />
international survey from the Charleston Observatory;<br />
from detailed analyses of library<br />
statistics from the UK, the US and Europe;<br />
and from a series of interviews and focus<br />
groups undertaken by the RIN and the CIBER<br />
team at UCL where the available evidence<br />
was considered in depth by a wide range<br />
of library directors and senior university<br />
managers in the UK, as well as with senior<br />
representatives of the publishing community.<br />
In the UK we are moving from a decade<br />
in which library budgets rose significantly<br />
– though not as fast as university budgets<br />
overall – to one where libraries are being<br />
asked to model cuts of 5-10% a year over<br />
the next three years. Such cuts cannot be<br />
made simply by seeking efficiency savings,<br />
important as those might be. Many directors<br />
are thus looking radically at the nature as<br />
well as the levels of service they can provide<br />
in support of their universities’ teaching,<br />
learning and research missions.<br />
The presentation thus presents evidence on<br />
trends and prospects for the future in such<br />
areas as<br />
- efficiency savings, what has been and<br />
what might be achieved, both by individual<br />
libraries and in partnerships with other<br />
libraries<br />
- the balance between content provision,<br />
staffing and services<br />
- the provision of books and journals, in both<br />
print and digital form, and the costs of that<br />
provision,<br />
- staffing levels, structures, and re-structuring<br />
- service provision including areas such as<br />
opening hours as well as newer areas of<br />
activity such as support for open access initiatives,<br />
and data curation and preservation<br />
- income generation to support library<br />
services.<br />
Many library directors are seeking ways of<br />
dong things differently, and see budget cuts<br />
as an opportunity to rethink what the library<br />
does and what it means. But there are as yet<br />
few concrete proposals that will transform<br />
services or yield large-scale savings. The<br />
presentation will thus also review, in the light<br />
of the current financial climate, the various<br />
steps that are being taken to develop a closer<br />
understanding of the relationships between<br />
expenditure on library activities and services<br />
on the one hand, and learning and research<br />
outcomes on the other.<br />

In 2003 the first digital archiving system,<br />
the e-Depot, of the National Library of<br />
The Netherlands (KB) became operational.<br />
This system was developed together<br />
with IBM and at the time of implementation<br />
it was the first long term preservation<br />
system running globally. Today, seven<br />
years later, the system has processed and<br />
stored over 15 million digital objects,<br />
mainly e-journal articles.<br />
At the time the e-Depot was developed,<br />
it was not common knowledge at all that<br />
long-term preservation of digital publications<br />
was a challenging issue. Although<br />
the general public still does not realise the<br />
risks, today, most library professionals<br />
are aware of the vulnerability of digital<br />
publications.<br />
New soft- and hardware technologies<br />
supersede each other with ever growing<br />
speed, leaving older formats unreadable.<br />
Research and development has focussed<br />
on how to ensure permanent access<br />
to digital objects and digital archiving<br />
systems like the e-Depot have been implemented<br />
at several libraries and archives.<br />
At KB, seven years after the implementation<br />
of the e-Depot system, we have<br />
started projects to build a new system<br />
with new requirements. Apart from the<br />
fact that our contract with IBM runs out in<br />
2012, several changes call for a new system<br />
and a new approach. These changes<br />
are not specific for KB, but are a general<br />
development in libraries’ digital collection<br />
management and are a consequence of<br />
digital library developments. In short,<br />
these changes are:<br />
- scale: digital publishing, web archiving<br />
and digitisation has lead to- enormous<br />
growth of digital collections<br />
- requirements for digital collection<br />
management: while preservation was<br />
first focussed on special parts of our<br />
collections, with the growth of digital<br />
collections, preservation has become a<br />
core requirement of libraries collection<br />
management<br />
- progress in digital preservation R&D:<br />
new tools have become available that<br />
allow us to better process and manage<br />
digital collections (e.g. Tools for identification,<br />
characterisation, migration and<br />
emulation)<br />
- diversity of digital collections: digital<br />
publications (including websites) have<br />
become container formats with all types of<br />
multimedia components embedded. These<br />
formats are a challenge for permanent<br />
access.<br />
At KB, we have set requirements for a<br />
next generation e-Depot that reflect these<br />
changes. Our paper will present the<br />
set-up of the new system, including new<br />
policies for collection management that<br />
will be developed.<br />
30
The development of the next generation<br />
e-Depot system is organized as a group<br />
of projects. These projects focus on:<br />
- workflow for ingest and quality control<br />
- data modelling and metadata<br />
- storage<br />
- migration from 1st to 2nd generation<br />
system<br />
The projects are now in full speed and will<br />
deliver a new e-Depot infrastructure in<br />
2011. This new system will be a modular<br />
system and a combination of different<br />
“off-the-shelf” and tailor made system<br />
components. The operational experience<br />
gained in the past seven years and the<br />
knowledge out of the R&D activities are<br />
put into the requirements for the new<br />
system.<br />
The new e-Depot will process and store all<br />
digital collections on different preservation<br />
levels, based on a digital collection<br />
management plan. For all digital collections,<br />
a level will be set at time of selection.<br />
This level will determine the way the<br />
collection is processed (with all possible<br />
checks or with basic processing), the way<br />
the collection is described (top-level description<br />
like national bibliography entries<br />
with manual checks or automatic generation<br />
and processing of minimal metadata)<br />
and preservation actions to be developed<br />
and applied (format migration and/or<br />
emulation). This approach is based on the<br />
realisation that not all digital collections<br />
require the same investment and top-level<br />
care for millions of objects comes with<br />
enormous, unaffordable, costs.<br />
KB is currently in the process of laying<br />
down this preservation level policy. The<br />
policy is also one of the basic principles<br />
for our current requirements setting and<br />
tender procedure for a next-generation<br />
LTP system.<br />

This presentation intends to describe<br />
how the Danish’ State Media Archive’s<br />
collection of Danish advertising films was<br />
made available online to students and<br />
researchers. The presentation will describe<br />
why the collection of audiovisual material<br />
is of such importance, how the project<br />
overcame copyright issues and the overall<br />
technical solution for making the collection<br />
available on the State and University<br />
Library’s website. Finally the article will<br />
describe future equivalent projects of Danish<br />
media collections that will be made<br />
available online.<br />
The State Media Archive at the State<br />
and University Library in Denmark holds<br />
among others the Danish collection of<br />
advertising films. The collection consists<br />
of almost every advertising film shown<br />
in Danish cinemas from the 1950’ies to<br />
1995 and every TV commercial aired<br />
on the Danish television channel TV2<br />
since the station started broadcasting in<br />
October 1998 until 2006. This adds up to<br />
approximately 28,000 advertising films.<br />
The material is of cultural and historical<br />
importance as it is a testimonial of the<br />
current gender issues, cultural norms, and<br />
among others illustrates the aesthetic and<br />
technological development at the time. For<br />
researchers and university students the<br />
archive is a valuable source for research<br />
and education.<br />
With support from the Research Council<br />
for Culture and Communication and the<br />
Ministry of Culture a project was funded<br />
to digitize the collection, resolve copyright<br />
issues and solve the infrastructure. The<br />
project was initiated in 2007 together<br />
with the Department of Information and<br />
Media Studies at Aarhus University. The<br />
main objective was to allow researchers<br />
and students to access the collection of<br />
advertising films via the internet. Locating<br />
the material on the internet accessible<br />
through the library’s online search function<br />
and database makes it easier and<br />
more effective for the group of users to<br />
view and browse the many different films,<br />
compare the comprehensive material and<br />
access the material just in time and when<br />
needed. One of the challenging tasks in<br />
the project was to enter into a new agreement<br />
with the collecting society handling<br />
copyright issues in Denmark (Copydan AV<br />
Copies) as it would be almost impossible<br />
to collect permission from everyone involved<br />
in the production of the advertising<br />
films.<br />

Virtual Libraries try to combine traditional<br />
library services with new document types<br />
and services. Restrictions like copyright<br />
laws, technical limitations and the like often<br />
make it difficult to meet user requirements. A<br />
number of studies documented these needs:<br />
An easy-to-use, comprehensive yet focussed<br />
search and easy access to print and online<br />
documents, subject specific, yet not too<br />
restricted to specific areas.<br />
The new EconBiz-portal (econbiz.de), relaunched<br />
in August 2010, has a disciplinary<br />
focus on business and economics and related<br />
subjects. It includes about 6 million records<br />
from different databases. Based on searchengine<br />
technology Lucene/SOLR, combined<br />
with a metadata framework developed by<br />
the ZBW (zbw.eu), it allows fast, convenient<br />
and complex searches. The integration of the<br />
Standard-Thesaurus-for Economics supports<br />
researchers by suggesting keywords and<br />
related terms. Information on the availability<br />
of the documents is also included. Documents<br />
can either be accessed online, or ways to<br />
material that is available in print only are<br />
shown. Journals Online & Print, a service<br />
developed by the German Electronic Journals<br />
Library (EZB) and the German Union<br />
Catalogue of Serials (ZDB) is included to<br />
provide easy access to all forms of journals.<br />
In addition, services like an event calendar,<br />
a tutorial on how to find information and<br />
an online-reference desk help to cater to the<br />
user’s complex needs.<br />
The new EconBiz-portal was developed<br />
by the ZBW in close cooperation with the<br />
USB Cologne (ub.uni-koeln.de). Major<br />
parts of the search engine framework were<br />
developed by a company specialized in<br />
information technology.<br />
This paper will elaborate on the extraction of<br />
the users’ requirements from different studies,<br />
the deduction of functional requirements,<br />
and finally, the implementation of the portal<br />
with all its ups and downs.<br />

fEasIBILIty study<br />
Over the next 5 years the Wellcome Library<br />
plans to transform itself into a groundbreaking<br />
digital library, with rich, dynamic<br />
content being made available around a<br />
series of strategic themes. The first of these<br />
themes is “Modern Genetics and its Foundations.”<br />
The Library’s draft digitisation strategy is<br />
highly ambitious, not only in its scale – to<br />
digitise over 30 million pages in five years –<br />
but also in its vision for how these items will<br />
be accessed and displayed. Specifically, the<br />
aim is to create a single repository, which<br />
will hold images, full-text material, archives,<br />
videos, audio files, born digital archival<br />
materials, with a presentation layer for users<br />
that is rich and engaging, and one that embraces<br />
Web 2.0 functionality. The creation<br />
of this will be underpinned by a workflow<br />
system that efficiently manages content in<br />
the Digital Library from digitisation and the<br />
creation of METS files.<br />
This presentation discusses the outcome<br />
of a Feasibility Study centred around the<br />
implementation of a Digital Library at the<br />
Wellcome Library. In particular, the Study<br />
looks at the interoperability and integration<br />
between systems including a back-end<br />
digital asset management system (Tessella’s<br />
Safety Deposit Box) with attached storage,<br />
a front-end delivery system, the use of METS<br />
to manage delivery of content, a full-text<br />
database with search engine, a workflow<br />
management system, and the Library<br />
catalogues (Calm and Millennium).<br />
A proof-of-concept was commissioned to<br />
practically demonstrate the feasibility of<br />
the system architecture, while the primary<br />
output – a comprehensive report - sets out a<br />
clear set of requirements these systems will<br />
need to support to ensure that they can fully<br />
interoperate with each other, and can effectively<br />
manage the digital content created<br />
by the digitisation programme.<br />
The systems or aspects of the Digital Library<br />
addressed by the Feasibility Study are as<br />
follows:<br />
1. DAM: To evaluate and test the use<br />
of Safety Deposit Box, which is currently<br />
configured to manage born digital<br />
content and preserve it against format<br />
obsolescence, for managing the digitised<br />
content and to determine what customisation<br />
may be required.<br />
29 JunE 2010<br />

2. Full text indexing and search engine: To<br />
look at options for storing and searching<br />
full-text data, and understand how the<br />
database fits into the wider infrastructure<br />
of the Digital Library.<br />
3. Use of METS files: To develop a working<br />
model of a METS file to meet the purpose<br />
of the Digital Library, and to explore<br />
options for creation and management<br />
of METS files. Sample METS files were<br />
created as part of the Delivery system<br />
proof-of-concept (see 5, below).<br />
4. Workflow system: To determine what<br />
requirements should be considered for the<br />
workflow system, and how it will be used<br />
as part of the digitisation workflow and to<br />
create and administer METS files.<br />
5. Delivery system: To test provision of online<br />
access to digitised content via the DAM<br />
and METS files. A proof-of-concept was<br />
developed to test the basic functions of<br />
interoperability.<br />
As a result of this Study, the Library has a<br />
clear idea of how its digitisation activity, the<br />
long-term management of digital content,<br />
and its dissemination can be seamlessly<br />
integrated to provide greater access to, and<br />
use of, its digitised holdings.<br />
christy henshaw has managed the<br />
Wellcome Library’s digitisation programme<br />
since 2007. Current challenges include the<br />
move to large-scale digitisation - starting<br />
with a project to digitise half a million pages<br />
of archival material, helping establish the<br />
Wellcome’s Digital Library infrastructure,<br />
copyright clearance and sensitivity issues,<br />
and the Wellcome’s move to JPEG 2000<br />
as a long-term master image format. Prior<br />
to the Wellcome, Christy spent six years<br />
working on a number of library and archive<br />
projects as a digital photographer and<br />
project manager whilst completing her PhD<br />
in Archaeology.<br />

Web sites and web pages emerge and<br />
disappear from the World Wide Web every<br />
day. Like many other heritage institutions,<br />
the National Library of France (BnF) has<br />
developed a strategy to collect and keep<br />
track of born digital material using very<br />
large-scale tools such as web crawlers.<br />
Today, for legal deposit purposes, BnF has<br />
collected more than 15 billion files (web<br />
pages, images, animations, video and<br />
sound records...), which constitute more than<br />
160 terabytes of data and share storage<br />
facilities with other digital resources.<br />
The Web archives of the French national<br />
domain stopped being the sole interest and<br />
the study object of the BnF web archiving<br />
team, and a dedicated and trained group<br />
of librarians in charge of acquisition, when<br />
this new collection was opened to the public<br />
in April 2008, developed as a new service<br />
and released as a new application.<br />
Developing the service was first a technical<br />
challenge: how to install and adapt open<br />
source tools (the Wayback Machine and<br />
Nutch) when the IT staff was used to developing<br />
applications on its own internally?<br />
How to integrate these tools into a secured<br />
and internet proof “public computer” along<br />
with other digital resources (catalogs,<br />
digitized collections, e-journals and databases…)<br />
which have been historically piled<br />
up one after the other? How to keep this<br />
collection safe?<br />
But introducing Web archives was also<br />
an organisational and human challenge:<br />
how to involve, explain and pass on to colleagues<br />
content and collection development<br />
policy, ways of working and not working for<br />
a contemporary and disruptive media type?<br />
In particular, to those who authorize and<br />
orientate researchers in the reading rooms<br />
and answer their questions at the help desk.<br />
Web archives are artefacts, incomplete<br />
documents, which are more common to<br />
archivists than to librarians.<br />
A new icon on a screen is not enough to<br />
reach and retain a public. BnF has created<br />
information and communication tools to<br />

encourage readers to use this new service.<br />
After almost two years, there is still not a<br />
very large public (about 80 visits a month),<br />
but it exists here and now, and gives us<br />
feedback.<br />
Beyond traditional researchers, who may<br />
search and browse Web archives content<br />
for scientific, academic or even personal<br />
purposes, “Web researchers”, studying the<br />
media itself, have to face quantity, temporality<br />
and time consistency issues. They also<br />
have to deal with gaps and noise at a scale<br />
of which the live Web only gives a small<br />
sample. But because the Web has many<br />
authors, many Web archives users and<br />
usages are still unknown.<br />
This paper will discuss:<br />
- Web archives as a new and challenging<br />
collection for the library end user,<br />
- BnF marketing and service strategies to<br />
introduce and promote the web archives,<br />
- current usage surveys and counts, and<br />
lessons learnt and to share,<br />
- plans for future developments.<br />

The scholarly monograph is under<br />
increasing pressure these days. The<br />
crisis is clearly reflected throughout the<br />
research community and especially within<br />
the Humanities. This presentation will<br />
stipulate the crisis from the viewpoint of a<br />
scholarly press and suggest ways to keep<br />
monograph publishing a viable business<br />
for scholarly publishers. One of these<br />
ways could be open access publishing<br />
and therefore the presentation will look<br />
more closely at the ongoing EU-funded<br />
OAPEN project (Open Access Publishing<br />
in European Networks, www.oapen.<br />
org) which is devoted to open access<br />
monographs and of which the presenter is<br />
a consortium partner.<br />
In the field of the Humanities (and the<br />
Social Sciences and Theology) the<br />
monograph is still the most preferred<br />
form of research dissemination among<br />
the scholars. However, the scholars<br />
are under great pressure due to the<br />
implementation of bibliometric systems<br />
that relatively measure journal articles<br />
above/higher than the traditional 500+<br />
pages monograph. This puts pressure on<br />
the monograph as genre. But humanists<br />
often do basic research in completely new<br />
fields where material has to be described,<br />
explained and documented for the very<br />
first time. This cannot be done in an<br />
8-pages article.<br />
The small and medium sized (SME)<br />
scholarly publishers are under pressure as<br />
well since they mainly publish hardcopy<br />
monographs. The so-called serial crisis<br />
has seriously affected the publishers since<br />
the library acquisitions have dropped<br />
dramatically over the last 2-3 decades<br />
making it an increasingly unhealthy business<br />
for the scholarly publisher. Will this<br />
be the end of the scholarly monograph?<br />
Will it be the end of scholarly publishers?<br />
Or will we see new ways of monograph<br />
publishing emerge?<br />
An increasingly - still relatively insignificant<br />
- number of scholarly publishers are<br />
experimenting with alternative ways of<br />
publishing monographs. Of these initiatives<br />
e-book publishing and open access<br />
publishing are the most significant.<br />
Museum Tusculanum Press (MTP) at the<br />
University of Copenhagen has - as one of<br />
the first scholarly publishers in the Nordic<br />
Countries - experimented with both of<br />
these alternative publishing forms. Having<br />
published e-books since 2004 the main<br />
business conclusion today is that e-books<br />
don not generate sufficient revenue to be<br />
economically viable. This of course might<br />
change with the up-coming and possible<br />
consolidation of new e-book readers.<br />
So far e-books are mainly sold via<br />
aggregators which are not a financially<br />
viable sales channel for the publishers.<br />
And libraries tend still not to buy single<br />
e-books from the scholarly publishers.<br />
Through participation in two international<br />
open access projects MTP has gained<br />
tremendous insight into open access publishing.<br />
As the only traditional scholarly<br />
publisher MTP was partner in the Nordic<br />
project on scientific journals and open<br />
access (NOAP led by Lund University<br />
Library from 2007-2009 www.ub.uit.<br />
no/wiki/noap) and now as a consortium<br />
partner of the OAPEN project. OAPEN is<br />
the first project where scholarly publishers<br />
across Europe work together in an attempt<br />
to evolve new ways of monograph<br />
publishing in open access and to find<br />
new business models for this. OAPEN is<br />
38
also creating a network of stakeholders<br />
(libraries, universities, funders, scholars,<br />
and publishers) in scholarly publishing<br />
and performing serious research into<br />
the needs of the stakeholders - e.g. the<br />
just released User Needs Report (138<br />
pp.) available at www.oapen.org. Part<br />
of the OAPEN mission is also to develop<br />
the technical platform that will hold the<br />
OAPEN Collection which will contain peer<br />
reviewed monographs, open access in<br />
their original language.<br />
If efficient business models can be found,<br />
the OAPEN model might be among the<br />
sustainable solutions for the threatened<br />
monographs in Europe. Another already<br />
working model can be seen across<br />
the Atlantic where the University of<br />
California Press and the California Digital<br />
Library collaborate as service providers<br />
(UCPubS) for UC institutes and centres.<br />
Yet the American initiative does not have<br />
to handle 23 different (all official) EU<br />
languages! There are great challenges<br />
and opportunities ahead for the scholarly<br />
monograph and for the scholarly<br />
publishers. In the process of change the<br />
role of the research libraries is of great<br />
importance. Collaboration between libraries,<br />
universities and scholarly publishers is<br />
necessary.<br />

The presentation focuses on the changes<br />
in education and their implication for<br />
the university library. The impact of<br />
Avans’ strategic educational vision on the<br />
design and lay-out of the buildings and<br />
especially Xplora, the Learning-centre of<br />
Avans, will be described.<br />
The three locations of the Avans Learningcentre<br />
(opened in 2006 and 2007) comprise<br />
a total of 2,000 student workplaces.<br />
The traditional library has changed into<br />
a multimedia learning-centre and now<br />
resides under the Avans Learning and<br />
Innovation Centre.<br />
New buildings and a new organisational<br />
structure demand new working-arrangements<br />
with faculty staff. The transformation<br />
from library to Learning Centre and<br />
especially the consequences for library<br />
staff will be focused upon. All staff was<br />
offered a comprehensive training program.<br />
In addition, information specialists<br />
were trained to improve their acquaintance<br />
with educational knowledge. The<br />
benefits derived from the cooperation by<br />
library staff working with colleagues from<br />
other disciplines (e.g. educational consultants<br />
, e-learning consultants, multimedia<br />
staff etc.) within the Avans Learning and<br />
Innovation Centre will be described. The<br />
results of relevant student surveys will also<br />
be described. To wrap up, I will draw<br />
some conclusions based on 4 years working<br />
in new buildings, new educational<br />
models, new organisation, new working<br />
arrangement, etc.<br />
Ellen simons started her career at<br />
Hogeschool West-Brabant in 1990 as<br />
a librarian. She quickly became the<br />
head of the university library. At this<br />
moment she is deputy-director of the<br />
Learning and Innovation Centre at Avans<br />
University of Applied Sciences. Ellen is<br />
vice-chairperson of the SHB, the Dutch<br />
consortium of Libraries of Universities<br />
of Applied Sciences. In recent years she<br />
was responsible for the strategic planning<br />
of educational innovation at Avans<br />
University, aimed at the transformation<br />
of a traditional library to a new Learning<br />
Centre. She was actively involved in the<br />
design of the three new learning centres<br />
in Breda, ’s-Hertogenbosch and Tilburg.<br />
Her primary interest is the cooperation<br />
between educational and library staff. The<br />
new Xplora learning centre presents itself<br />
as partner of the schools. As part of this<br />
new position a large training program<br />
has been developed for the former library<br />
staff.<br />

Institutional repositories (IRs) are one of the<br />
most innovative and creative components<br />
of digital libraries. They are a central<br />
service for the research communities and<br />
the institution they serve. They are a showcase<br />
of the scientific output of a research<br />
institution. However, due to manifold<br />
reasons, institutional repositories often lack<br />
institutional leadership commitment and<br />
research communities engagement. Except<br />
for a very few cases it is difficult to reach<br />
a critical mass of content and fund raising<br />
may also become a problem for repository<br />
administrators in economic crisis time.<br />
Up to date there are no standard performance<br />
indicators to assess repositories<br />
activity and demonstrate their value for<br />
the researcher communities. This article<br />
will examine qualitative and quantitative<br />
measures that should be gathered by repository<br />
administrators in order to design<br />
a successful repository.<br />
The idea is to present the repository<br />
assessment as a combination of internal<br />
(quantitative) and external (qualitative)<br />
measures where the first relate to the collections,<br />
total full-text items deposited, level<br />
of ordinary activity deposit, percentage<br />
of faculty participating to the deposit,<br />
value added services provided to the<br />
researchers of different disciplines by the<br />
repository. These measures are often, but<br />
not uniquely, generated from OAI harvesting<br />
information.<br />
The latter relate to faculty satisfaction<br />
of the repository according to the way<br />
repository fulfils researchers’ needs, to<br />
internal and external level of funding and<br />
to policies adopted to support the repository<br />
action (institutional mandates or other<br />
non-mandatory supporting policies). All<br />
these measures are based on qualitative<br />
surveys carried out on researchers and<br />
institutional leadership.<br />
In conclusion I argue that the intelligent<br />
combination of the two perspectives (internal<br />
and external) should help repository<br />
administrators to advocate the ideal profile<br />
of a successful economically sustainable<br />
repository.<br />

The paper will address how web based<br />
collaboration tools can engage users in the<br />
building of historical printed text resources<br />
created by mass digitisation projects. The<br />
drivers for developing such tools, identifying<br />
the benefits that can be derived for both<br />
the user community and cultural heritage<br />
institutions, will be presented. The perceived<br />
risks, such as new errors introduced by<br />
the users, and the limitations of engaging<br />
with users in this way will be set out with<br />
the lessons that can be learnt from existing<br />
activities, such as the National Library<br />
of Australia’s newspaper website which<br />
supports collaborative correction of Optical<br />
Character Recognition (OCR) output.<br />
The paper will present the work of the<br />
IMPACT (Improving Access to Text,<br />
http://www.impact-project.eu) project, a<br />
large-scale integrating project funded by<br />
the European Commission as part of the<br />
Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). One<br />
of the aims of the project is to develop tools<br />
that help improve OCR results for historical<br />
printed texts, specifically those works published<br />
before the industrial production of<br />
books from the middle of the 19th century.<br />
The coordinator of the IMPACT project is<br />
the KB – National library of the Netherlands.<br />
The KB will work intensively in the<br />
coming years to realise a digital library<br />
that is accessible to everyone with an<br />
Internet connection. As national library the<br />
KB collects and maintains all publications<br />
that appear in the Netherlands, as well<br />
as a part of the international publications<br />
about the Netherlands. One of the large,<br />
labour-intensive challenges is to digitise all<br />
the books, periodicals and newspapers that<br />
have appeared in the Netherlands. The KB<br />
aims to have 10% of all Dutch books, newspapers<br />
and periodicals digitised in 2013<br />
(60 million pages by the KB, 13 million by<br />
third parties), as well as to offer the full-text<br />
collections in such a way that they can be<br />
used immediately by researchers.<br />
To realise this goal, technological improvements<br />
to image processing and OCR engine<br />
technology are key. However, engaging<br />
the user community also has an important<br />
role to play. Utilising the intended user<br />
can aid in achieving the levels of accuracy<br />
currently found in born digital materials.<br />
Improving OCR results to this level is key<br />
to producing resources that support better<br />
resource discovery and enabling greater<br />
performance when applying text mining<br />
and accessibility tools to the extracted text.<br />
The IMPACT project will specifically develop<br />
a tool that supports collaborative correction<br />
and validation of OCR results and a tool to<br />
allow user involvement in building historical<br />
dictionaries which can be used to validate<br />
word recognition. The technologies use the<br />
characteristics of human perception as a<br />
basis for error detection.<br />

Today’s “born-digital” youth are engaged<br />
in an unprecedented experimentation with<br />
literacy, learning, and cultural practices<br />
on an individual and societal level. They<br />
inhabit a world of ubiquitous twitch-speed<br />
content in which they can connect to<br />
peers, ideas, and information almost<br />
instantaneously, as well as tailor their own<br />
online spaces that promote a sense of<br />
freedom and individuality. As such, these<br />
changes present both complex challenges<br />
and opportunities for institutions such as<br />
schools and libraries, and those “digital<br />
immigrants” who manage them.<br />
This proposed paper explores a recently<br />
completed case study, conducted by<br />
the authors, that examined the impact<br />
of e-reader technology on the learning<br />
and literacy of digital-age youth in a<br />
Grade nine and Grade ten classroom;<br />
the study was held at a community<br />
school on Vancouver island in western<br />
Canada. Emerging from an innovative<br />
research partnership between members<br />
of the WestShore Centre for Learning<br />
and Training, the University of Victoria’s<br />
Electronic Textual Cultures Lab, and the<br />
Faculty of Education, this study required<br />
that we develop an online library for the<br />
students’ and classroom teachers’ use. As<br />
such, questions regarding changes to the<br />
students’ learning, their user behaviour,<br />
and the on-demand collection development<br />
emerged as e-books were integrated<br />
into their evolving online educational<br />
environment.<br />
Fundamentally grounded in theoretical<br />
cross-sections of information literacy<br />
issues, pedagogy, e-pedagogy, and computational<br />
modelling activities, the study<br />
revealed that the participants’ experiences<br />
specify particular requirements, challenges,<br />
and opportunities for digital age<br />
learners, educators, and librarians. This<br />

study’s initial findings point to the benefits<br />
to students’ cognitive and affective domains<br />
through the personalized learning<br />
spaces afforded them by the e-readers<br />
and e-book content. But, there were also<br />
complications to students’ individual<br />
reading processes. Such benefits and<br />
complications called for an alert flexibility<br />
in developing the online library to engage<br />
these born-digital students – particularly<br />
in relation to their “Web 2.0” experiences<br />
that included: online reading journals;<br />
discussion groups; virtual “bookshelves”<br />
for their e-books; and security concerns.<br />
Throughout this study, there emerged<br />
the need for re-inventing reading and<br />
learning spaces to address the changing<br />
reading patterns and epistemologies of<br />
born digital students as they navigated<br />
through ideas and information from page<br />
to screen. Importantly, this re-invention<br />
can only occur through a co-authoring of<br />
the reading and learning spaces of born<br />
digital students by those very students,<br />
their teachers, the developer, and others<br />
such as experts in digital corpora.<br />

Citation metrics are well established<br />
(especially in Science, Technology and<br />
Medicine) to assess the impact of scientific<br />
output. With the growing availability of<br />
e-journals, usage metrics of digital libraries<br />
and repositories have become an interesting<br />
alternative to citation metrics and<br />
allow viewing scholarly communication<br />
from the user’s perspective. The correlation<br />
between both is highly dependent on<br />
the discipline’s publication output and has<br />
been well documented in several studies.<br />
Usage metrics can therefore be regarded<br />
complementary to citation metrics, reflect<br />
usage on a much broader scope and<br />
present an emerging field in bibliometric<br />
research.<br />
Usage metrics offer several advantages:<br />
1) automatic data recording at low cost,<br />
2) convenient and immediate access to<br />
usage data, 3) general acceptance of<br />
downloads as proxy for usage, and 4)<br />
better consideration of less publicationintensive<br />
fields.<br />
Issues to be sorted out are:<br />
1) restricted availability of global data,<br />
2) different access channels e.g. OA<br />
repositories versus publisher sites (mirrored<br />
content), and 3) risk of inflation by<br />
manual or automatic methods.<br />
This paper suggests an approach to provide<br />
global availability of usage metrics<br />
supported by libraries and repositories.<br />
The goal is the provision of an analytical<br />
tool, Standardized Electronic Resource<br />
Usage Metrics (SERUM) comparable to<br />
the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), but<br />
using download instead of citation data.<br />
Global data would be obtained from<br />
the publishers, assuming their willing<br />
contribution in order to benefit from newly<br />
established evaluation criteria for periodicals<br />
beyond the JIF and a consequential<br />
strengthening of their products. Single<br />
publishers are not in the right position to<br />
offer such services, as self-beneficial data<br />
manipulation cannot be excluded.<br />
Therefore the implementation of an<br />
international network of digital libraries<br />
and repositories with a sound disciplinary<br />
coverage will be established in order to<br />
obtain, manage and check the apparent<br />
authenticity of the data delivered by the<br />
publishers. It will act as a clearing centre<br />
operated by independent information specialists<br />
to guarantee data integrity as well<br />
as curation according to a standardised<br />
format. Furthermore, its internationally<br />
distributed members should also track<br />
and manage local usage data, reflect<br />
local trends, and relate these to the global<br />
publishers’ data.<br />
Moreover this network will be responsible<br />
for offering a regularly updated version of<br />
compiled download counts, for calculat-<br />
46
ing the basic indicators as usage impact<br />
factor, immediacy index, half-life and any<br />
further metrics of interest, and for producing<br />
the according journal rankings.<br />
These anticipated services will be accessible<br />
via a cooperative website hosted<br />
and maintained by the Vienna University<br />
Library. Primarily designed for journals<br />
analysis they can of course be extended<br />
to serials and e-books. The outcome is a<br />
new complementary instrument for the<br />
evaluation of electronic resources going<br />
beyond citations.<br />

This paper will describe the key research<br />
advances on digital library evaluation<br />
models.<br />
Digital library evaluation has a vital<br />
role to play in building DLs, and in understanding<br />
and enhancing their role in<br />
society. The paper will cover the theoretical<br />
approach, providing an integrated<br />
evaluation model which overcomes the<br />
fragmentation of quality assessments, and<br />
propose some examples of DL evaluation<br />
methodologies, undertaking a comparative<br />
analysis of them.<br />
Digital library evaluation is a growing<br />
interdisciplinary area. Researchers and<br />
practitioners have specific viewpoints<br />
of what DLs are, and they use different<br />
approaches to evaluate them. Each<br />
evaluation approach corresponds to<br />
a DL model, and there is no common<br />
agreement on its definition. Despite that,<br />
more and more efforts have been made<br />
to evaluate DLs. However, a methodology<br />
that encompasses all the approaches does<br />
not yet exist. There are two main reasons<br />
for this:<br />
1. digital libraries are complex entities<br />
which need interdisciplinary approaches<br />
2. digital libraries are synchronic entities:<br />
the speed of evolution of DLs coupled<br />
with their lack of historical traces makes a<br />
longitudinal analysis difficult if not impossible.<br />
Nevertheless, DLs and DL research have<br />
reached a level of maturity such that a<br />
global approach to their evaluation is<br />
needed. It would encourage exchange of<br />
qualitative data and evaluation studies,<br />
allowing comparisons and communication<br />
between research and professional communities.<br />
This paper will provide the research<br />
advances in the field and a theoretical<br />
framework for digital evaluation models.<br />

jurist Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832).<br />
A new project, the Bentham Papers<br />
Transcription Initiative (BPTI), is using this<br />
corpus to test the feasibility of outsourcing<br />
the work of manuscript transcription to<br />
members of the public.<br />
The BPTI will initially digitise 10,000<br />
folios, and create a suite of transcription<br />
training tools. A simple interface will be<br />
devised to allow registered contributors to<br />
take temporary ownership of manuscript<br />
images and to supply transcription text<br />
for final approval by UCL experts. If<br />
approved, the transcripts will be stored<br />
as TEI-encoded documents, alongside the<br />
manuscript images, in UCL’s public Digital<br />
Collections repository. The repository will<br />
feed into an over-arching Bentham Project<br />
‘hub’ site, which, in addition to housing<br />
the transcription interface, will offer open<br />
access to the images, transcripts and a<br />
Bentham-based ‘Ideas Bank’.<br />
The BPTI project makes innovative use<br />
of traditional material. It will stimulate<br />
public engagement with UCL’s scholarly<br />
archive collections and the challenges of<br />
manuscript transcription; it will raise the<br />
profile of the work and thought of Jeremy<br />
Bentham; and it will make new digital<br />
resources available to professional researchers.<br />
The project is funded by the UK<br />
Arts and Humanities Research Council,<br />
led by the UCL Bentham Project, in collaboration<br />
with UCL Library Services and<br />
UCL Department of Information Studies. It<br />
is part of the work of the new UCL Centre<br />
for Digital Humanities.<br />

Catch the attention of highly technological<br />
and visual based students is a challenge<br />
for libraries. The number of students entering<br />
the universities is increasing and a<br />
face-to-face learning setting is for the few<br />
subject librarians an impossible mission.<br />
This paper demonstrates how effective the<br />
use of serious game or other web based<br />
interactive elements can be for the teaching<br />
of information literacy.<br />
The libraries of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam<br />
and the Institute of Social Studies<br />
in the Netherlands developed together a<br />
serious game on Information Literacy. This<br />
game aims to teach foreign students how<br />
they can find free academic information<br />
on the internet. This set is chosen because<br />
students from developing countries in<br />
most of the times do not have access to<br />
the expensive databases that Europe can<br />
afford. Through a quasi experimental<br />
research we could analyze the impact that<br />
the new elements brought by the game<br />
have on the students learning effect. In<br />
this research we concluded that the game<br />
needs to be improved to fit in the regular<br />
curriculum of the university but interactive<br />
elements is for sure a good solution for<br />
acquiring better learning results.<br />

We are finally starting to see the early<br />
signs of transformation in the scholarly<br />
publishing. The innovations we’ve been<br />
expecting for years are slowly being<br />
adopted, but we can definitely expect the<br />
pace of change will pick up greater speed<br />
in the coming 3-5 years. Is our profession<br />
moving fast enough to stay ahead of the<br />
curve…or are we going to be struggling<br />
to keep up? With the advent of the data<br />
deluge, all XML workflows, the semantic<br />
web, cloud services and increasingly<br />
intelligent mobile devices – what are<br />
the implications for libraries, archivists,<br />
publishers, scholarly societies as well as<br />
individual researchers and scholars? The<br />
opportunities are many – but capitalizing<br />
on this ever-evolving landscape<br />
will require significant changes to our<br />
field, changes that we are not currently<br />
well-positioned to enact at present. This<br />
talk will map the current scholarly communication<br />
landscape – highlighting recent<br />
exciting developments, and will focus<br />
on the repercussions and some specific<br />
recommendations for the broader field of<br />
information management.<br />

The open data trend allowing the proliferation<br />
of applications consumers use on<br />
a daily basis (i.e., Flixster, Urban Spoon,<br />
etc.) is now crossing over to the scientific<br />
community, creating a significant opportunity<br />
to enrich content and speed innovation.<br />
Simultaneously, the availability to<br />
access and connect raw data is emerging<br />
as a critical component to fuel scientific<br />
discovery as research becomes even more<br />
multidisciplinary and collaborative.<br />
Through thousands of interviews with<br />
researchers and industry influencers, it’s<br />
clear there is an opportunity to create an<br />
environment that empowers the scientific<br />
community to maximize the potential<br />
benefits of research-driven applications to<br />
search and discovery. The unprecedented<br />
approach would alter the relationship between<br />
scientific information and the way<br />
it is discovered, used, shared and re-used<br />
for scientific breakthroughs.<br />
As the scientific community experiments<br />
and builds innovative applications to<br />
leverage available data and deliver<br />
“intelligent information” through innovative<br />
applications, content consumption<br />
will be fundamentally changed. Microcommunities<br />
designed around information<br />
and applications in which users help each<br />
other curate will evolve and transform<br />
into trusted networks for researchers to<br />
filter and view information. As this new<br />
scientific knowledge ecosystem flourishes,<br />
it will create the building blocks that<br />
capture existing knowledge on any given<br />
subject and serve as the foundation for<br />
new discoveries.<br />
Universities, commercial and government<br />
institutions will be crucial in encouraging<br />
researchers to develop new applications.<br />
Within these institutions, it is the librarians<br />
who have the greatest opportunity<br />
to champion the cause as the influential<br />
gatekeepers of research.<br />
This presentation will delve into the power<br />
and benefit of generating tailored applications<br />
for scientific researchers focused<br />
on improving the search and discovery<br />
process, as well as the steps required from<br />
all parties – librarians, researchers, publishers<br />
and platform providers – involved<br />
to make these applications a reality.<br />

With the advances in scholarly communication<br />
in recent years, the academic<br />
research world is becoming more global<br />
and collaborative. E-Science, for example,<br />
has introduced scientific projects on a<br />
whole new scale in terms of collaborative<br />
effort, the dissemination of information,<br />
technical infrastructure, and the amount<br />
of data that is generated. In this global<br />
environment, scholars’ quest for information<br />
transcends borders; indeed, every<br />
research document, no matter where it<br />
was created, can be accessed globally<br />
and its impact can be felt widely.<br />
Continuing to fulfill their role, information<br />
providers publish the growing quantity of<br />
quality materials and disseminate them to<br />
institutions around the world. Institutions,<br />
for their part, strive to offer their users as<br />
many relevant information resources as<br />
can feasibly be provided, given budgetary<br />
constraints, and to facilitate searching<br />
in these resources.<br />
The availability of the Internet as a vehicle<br />
for publishing scholarly materials, on the<br />
one hand, and for locating such materials,<br />
on the other, offers the academic information<br />
community several approaches<br />
to searching in heterogeneous information<br />
resources: a networked approach, a centralized<br />
approach, or a combination of<br />
the two. The networked approach adheres<br />
to the fundamental concept of the Internet<br />
whereby information items are linked to<br />
each other regardless of physical location<br />
and can hence be organized into one<br />
conceptual entity by a software system or<br />
a user. A centralized approach—adopted<br />
by search engines such as Google—relies<br />
on indexing of the Internet; a user who<br />
seeks information searches the index.<br />
Whereas the former approach eliminates<br />
the duplication of data and the need for<br />
preprocessing, the latter approach generates<br />
very quick responses to queries and<br />
excellent relevance ranking.<br />
The scholarly environment follows the<br />
trends of the consumer market for global<br />
information. Over the last decade, we<br />
have witnessed the rise of metasearch<br />
systems that follow the networked approach.<br />
Such systems gather relevant<br />
information from diverse information<br />
resources as a response to a researcher’s<br />
query and use centralized configuration<br />
information as a basis for the interaction<br />

with these resources. The much-awaited<br />
semantic Web is expected to facilitate this<br />
kind of interaction between heterogeneous<br />
systems.<br />
At the same time, information providers<br />
invested in creating larger information repositories,<br />
but the rise of Google Scholar,<br />
which is based on the centralized model<br />
on a global scale, has paved the way to<br />
a truly centralized approach. However,<br />
Google Scholar also demonstrates the<br />
need for tools that will enable users to<br />
sift through information provided by very<br />
large aggregates of data.<br />
In recent years, other players have<br />
attempted to build mega-aggregates<br />
of scholarly materials. In addition, the<br />
perceptions of information providers,<br />
particularly secondary publishers, have<br />
been changing: whereas in the past they<br />
insisted on encapsulating their data and<br />
providing it only to those who visited their<br />
sites, today most of them regard megaaggregates<br />
of scholarly materials as<br />
additional entry points to their collections.<br />
The session will describe the centralized<br />
approach to addressing the quest for<br />
scholarly information and will focus on<br />
Primo Central, a mega-aggregate of<br />
scholarly materials that is offered by Ex<br />
Libris as a service in a cloud computing<br />
environment.<br />

During the last years, the dramatic changes<br />
in electronic publishing landscape<br />
have created new roles and changed<br />
the traditional ones. Libraries nowadays<br />
have capitalized their experience and<br />
knowledge in information technology<br />
and electronic publishing to undertake<br />
such activities, while they spearhead the<br />
campaign for Open Access spreading<br />
within academic communities.<br />
The Library & Information Center (LIC) of<br />
the University of Patras (UoP), Greece,<br />
has been playing an active role in<br />
promoting Open Access in Greece the last<br />
years. Since 2007, LIC has been experimenting<br />
with OA publishing practices and<br />
tools within the framework of various R&D<br />
projects. Two out of the major results of<br />
these efforts are:<br />
- the “Pasithee” e-publishing platform<br />
(xantho.lis.upatras.gr/pasithee/)<br />
- the “Dexameni” digital archive for<br />
Greek scholarly journals (xantho.lis.<br />
upatras.gr/dexameni/)<br />
Both platforms are based on OJS-Open<br />
Journal Systems e-publishing software.<br />
The two installations are appropriately<br />
modified to meet LIC’s publishing and<br />
archiving requirements respectively.<br />
Currently two journals are being hosted<br />
in each platform, all four belonging in the<br />
Humanities, while LIC is in negotiations<br />
with more publishers and editorial teams<br />
to host their journals in LIC’s services<br />
accordingly.<br />
In this presentation we focus on the:<br />
- technical and managerial key issues of<br />
the development and operation phases,<br />
- services and procedures,<br />
- adopted business model of the services,<br />
- interesting technological, procedural<br />
and legal issues and problems that were<br />
raised from working together with publishers,<br />
editors and authors, and<br />
- future plans for improving and upgrading<br />
our e-publishing services in an<br />
integrated institutional platform to cover<br />
all kinds of publications and data types<br />
(monographs, conference proceedings,<br />
teaching material, bulletins, magazines<br />
etc.)<br />
The paper concludes with a succinct presentation<br />
of the Directory of Greek Digital<br />
Resources (www.lis.upatras.gr/Libworld/<br />
collections/search.php) a pilot infrastructure<br />
developed by LIC, which indexes<br />
and presents digital publishing initiatives<br />
in Greece and aims to become a formal<br />
registry for Greek scientific resources in<br />

Advances in computational science and<br />
its application have reshaped the social<br />
landscape and the practice of research.<br />
Researchers are increasingly exploiting<br />
technology for collaborative, experimental<br />
and observational research in all<br />
disciplines. Digital data and datasets are<br />
the fuel that drives these trends; increasingly<br />
datasets are being recognised as a<br />
national asset that require preservation<br />
and access in much the same way as<br />
text based communication. In response,<br />
UK research councils, funding bodies,<br />
institutions and publishers are mandating<br />
data management plans or accepting<br />
supplementary data alongside articles. To<br />
date, research libraries have been largely<br />
absent from the discussion.<br />
The British Library is in a unique position<br />
to enhance UK and international research<br />
by extending it’s presence from the<br />
physical collection to the digital dataset<br />
domain. To meet this challenge and be<br />
a responsible steward of the scholarly<br />
record, the Library has defined a programme<br />
of activity to support the data that<br />
underlie modern research and promote<br />
them as a national asset.<br />
Awareness of the impact of the digital<br />
data age on research is growing. The<br />
British Library’s Chief Executive, Dame<br />
Lynne Brindley DBE, observed that the<br />
biggest challenge facing the British Library<br />
is presented by “the data deluge and the<br />
increasing need to integrate datasets that<br />
underlie published research with the more<br />
traditional formats and preserve these digital<br />
formats into the long term”. This view<br />
is supported by three studies conducted by<br />
the Library in 2007 and 2008.<br />
In considering the expectations of the<br />
researcher in a digital environment, i.e.<br />
to locate and access data regardless of<br />
physical location, the scope of our activity<br />
is to facilitate and streamline appropriate<br />
access to datasets by addressing the scholarly<br />
record as a whole and promoting<br />
a joined-up infrastructure between other<br />
libraries, data providers and those that<br />
consume data.<br />
The Library already contains many<br />
datasets. Artefacts from ‘on-demand’ or<br />
mass digitisation programmes are datasets<br />
based on specific requests or operational<br />
needs. Externally, national data centres<br />
provide for the preservation and persistence<br />
of data generated by UK funded<br />
research and government departments.<br />
To begin we are designing a mixed model<br />
of activity where specific, service level<br />
projects with clear goals will provide<br />
support for collaborative work that aims<br />
to reveal and clarify issues related to<br />
datasets. For example, there is a clear<br />
community need for stable, scalable and<br />
agreed data citation mechanisms. To address<br />
this, the British Library is a founding<br />
member of DataCite, the International<br />
Data Citation Initiative. In addition, we<br />
are actively partnering with a number<br />
of external stakeholders aimed at investigating<br />
value-added services in dataset<br />
attribution and impact, further supporting<br />
the persistence of datasets of international<br />
importance (e.g. the datasets of environmental<br />
observation and measurement that<br />
will underpin the IPCC report in 2013).<br />

vision.<br />
As outlined in Europeana’s content strategy,<br />
there are thousands of cultural and<br />
scientific institutions in Europe with content<br />
and collections that are of interest for<br />
Europeana. However, it is not sustainable<br />
for Europeana to work with all of these<br />
institutions directly. A content aggregation<br />
model is therefore of crucial importance<br />
in enabling Europeana to reach its objectives.<br />
Europeana’s future strategy requires<br />
a domain-level aggregator of library<br />
content, positioned alongside other domain<br />
aggregators for museums, archives<br />
and audio-visual collections. To enable<br />
this, <strong>LIBER</strong> (Association of European<br />
Research Libraries), CENL (Conference<br />
of European National Librarians) and<br />
CERL (Consortium of European Research<br />
Libraries) have joined forces to submit the<br />
“Europeana Libraries” project proposal to<br />
the European Commission in the context<br />
of the CIP-ICT PSP-2010-4 “Digital<br />
Libraries” programme in early Summer<br />
2010. This paper outlines the vision of the<br />
“Europeana Libraries” project, which will<br />
turn The European Library into a domainlevel<br />
aggregator of library content into<br />
Europeana.<br />
The “Europeana Libraries” project will<br />
aggregate high quality content primarily<br />
from research libraries in countries such<br />
as Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,<br />
Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania,<br />
Luxembourg, Malta, Romania, Serbia,<br />
Slovakia, Spain and Switzerland. that<br />
are currently under-represented or even<br />
absent in Europeana. The content selected<br />
will be existing digital cultural content of<br />
interest to a broad public. The outcome of<br />
this project, if accepted, will be that both<br />
content and metadata will be retrievable<br />
and accessible for the first time through<br />
Europeana.<br />
Aggregation of content will happen<br />
through The European Library. Launched<br />
as an operational service in March<br />
2005, The European Library currently<br />
aggregates the digital and bibliographic<br />
collections from the 48 national libraries<br />
of Europe. If accepted, the “Europeana<br />
Libraries” project will enable The European<br />
Library to scale its aggregation<br />
infrastructure up to become the domainlevel<br />
aggregator of library content into<br />
Europeana. ><br />

Within the project, work will be undertaken<br />
in the areas of content ingestion,<br />
aggregation and the development of<br />
sustainable business and organisation<br />
models. The aim of the content ingestion<br />
work package will be to ingest the<br />
existing high-quality digital content as<br />
efficiently as possible into Europeana in<br />
compliance with the relevant Europeana<br />
content standards. Only content free from<br />
IPR issues will be taken into consideration<br />
in order to guarantee wide dissemination<br />
and use of the content. The aggregation<br />
work package will turn The European<br />
Library into a domain-level aggregator<br />
of library content into Europeana. This<br />
will be made possible by scaling up the<br />
existing infrastructure to manage the<br />
large-scale aggregation and ingestion of<br />
content and improving interoperability by<br />
creating a single workflow for the ingestion<br />
of content from libraries into The European<br />
Library and Europeana. To ensure<br />
that the library-domain aggregator for<br />
Europeana can operate in a sustainable<br />
and cost effective way beyond the lifetime<br />
of project, sustainable business and<br />
organisational models will be developed.<br />

“Why is Google so easy and the library<br />
so hard?” A review of the recent literature<br />
suggests that users prefer simple search<br />
interfaces such as Google. The implication<br />
here is that libraries often fail to make<br />
their resources discoverable and that this<br />
may in turn affect the perceived value of<br />
the library.<br />
Against the background of the ongoing<br />
national debate about user expectations,<br />
a project group at the University of Huddersfield<br />
was asked to investigate the current<br />
provision for electronic resources and<br />
to look at a solution which would ‘provide<br />
ease of searching and access for the user,<br />
whilst reducing the workload for systems<br />
and technical services and remaining<br />
within current budget levels’<br />
As a direct result of this review, the<br />
University of Huddersfield was the first UK<br />
commercial adopter of Summon in the<br />
summer of 2009. The Summon web-scale<br />
discovery service from Serials Solutions<br />
provides a simple single-search box to the<br />
breadth of the library’s collection, swiftly<br />
delivering simultaneous information and<br />
results from the local catalogue and<br />
remote electronic resources offering a real<br />
alternative to the traditional federated<br />
search.<br />
This paper will provide a case study of the<br />
implementation, evaluation and launch<br />
of this radical new service to users at the<br />
University of Huddersfield, by detailing<br />
the approaches used and lessons learned<br />
throughout the implementation period<br />
and making recommendations for future<br />
enhancements.<br />
Summon will be soft launched at the<br />
beginning of February 2010, to enable a<br />
period of user-testing alongside the existing<br />
federated search service, MetaLib,<br />
before a full launch in July 2010 and<br />
subsequent roll out for the academic year<br />
2010/11.<br />
The key aims of this paper are:<br />
- To describe the rationale behind the<br />
e-resources review and the subsequent<br />
decision to move away from federated<br />
search.<br />
- To report on the objectives for implementation,<br />
challenges encountered and<br />
any issues raised during the technical<br />
implementation of Summon, including<br />
MARC mapping from the library catalogues,<br />
population of full text resources<br />
via Serials Solutions and the University<br />
Repository and inclusion of locally held<br />
collections, such as lectures via streaming<br />
video.<br />
- To discuss the feedback received from a<br />
representative range of users after the<br />
initial ‘soft launch’ of the service in order<br />
to refine and approve the system for a<br />
full launch in July 2010.<br />
- The very nature of Summon will completely<br />
change the way user education is<br />
approached at Huddersfield. The paper<br />
will go on to consider some of ><br />

the changes that will be made to the<br />
information literacy strategy as a result<br />
of the adoption of Summon.<br />
- Finally the paper will discuss any future<br />
enhancements that may be necessary to<br />
improve the system and to share lessons<br />
learned from the project.<br />
Problems with ‘federated search’ rank<br />
alongside lack of library text books as the<br />
perennial favourite in students’ comments<br />
about the library, this paper will consider<br />
whether we really can meet students<br />
expectations by providing Google-like<br />
interfaces with Google-like results.<br />

Raymond BERaRd (BIBLIogRaPhIc<br />
agEncy foR hIghER EducatIon,<br />
fRancE): fREE LIBRaRy data?<br />
The issue of library records has long<br />
been restricted to the circles of librarians.<br />
Nowadays this issue is going far beyond<br />
librarians: at the last Berlin 7 conference<br />
in Paris, data produced by libraries were<br />
placed on the same level as scientific<br />
papers themselves, in a leap of the open<br />
access movement to library catalogs.<br />
Several initiatives have led the way: Open<br />
Library, Biblios.net etc… the latest being<br />
the CERN Library announcing that it<br />
publishes its book catalog as Open Data,<br />
allowing any library to freely download<br />
its catalog, the records being provided<br />
under the Public Domain Data License.<br />
It is a hot topic: OCLC is now working<br />
on the draft of a new record policy after<br />
withdrawing the new controversial policy<br />
it had published in 2008. OCLC has set<br />
up a working group to produce a draft<br />
policy that will be submitted to its members<br />
councils this Spring.<br />
As library materials are catalogued by<br />
public organisations and librarians are<br />
active promoters of the principles of Open<br />
Access, one would expect library data to<br />
be freely available to all. Yet this is not the<br />
case. Why then do so few libraries make<br />
their data free? One reason is that many<br />
libraries download records from data providers<br />
such as OCLC, national libraries<br />
or other organisations that impose their<br />
own, often diverging policies, some being<br />
very restrictive. What are the restrictions?<br />
What are the interests (commercial and<br />
strategic) at stake?<br />
How to make the date freely available to<br />
public, not for profit organisations without<br />
putting at risk the collective networks built<br />
by libraries over the years?<br />
This paper will present a panorama of the<br />
current situation, the actors and interests<br />
involved. It will address the legal aspects,<br />
the obstacles and show how it is possible<br />
to make data produced by libraries freely<br />
available to other knowledge organisations<br />
while retaining and developing the<br />
collective organisations and services built<br />
by library networks over the years. The<br />
aim of the “free the data movement” is to<br />
share and reuse bibliographic data in a<br />
new ecosystem where all the actors are<br />
involved, both users and providers, not<br />
only librarians.<br />

The Finnish Digital Library project aims<br />
at promoting the online availability and<br />
usability of the essential information resources<br />
of libraries, archives and museums<br />
and at developing long-term preservation<br />
solutions for digital cultural heritage<br />
materials. The project has been launched<br />
by the Ministry of Education for the period<br />
2008_2011 (http://www.kdk2011.fi/<br />
fi/english-intro) and the total budget for<br />
2008-2011 is ca M16EUR.<br />
The National Library of Finland is<br />
responsible for the development of the<br />
National user interface during the period<br />
2008-2011. The system will be operable<br />
in 2011. This paper has its focus on the<br />
development and implementation of the<br />
National user interface in collaboration<br />
with archives, libraries and museums,<br />
describing the major challenges and risks<br />
of the project and how these have been<br />
worked on.<br />
The network of archives, museums and<br />
libraries in Finland consists of ca 500<br />
-600 organisations. There are many expectations<br />
related to the functionality of the<br />
system within these organisations as well<br />
as among the end users. The organisations<br />
are also interested in the added value the<br />
Public interface will bring them.<br />
The challenges of the project are diverse<br />
ranging from political to detailed technical<br />
issues and many of them are more political<br />
or legal in nature or related to human<br />
issues than technical. Some of the major<br />
challenges and risks which have been<br />
identified and worked on are:<br />
- shared vision of the functionalities and<br />
benefits of the public interface<br />
- added value gained through the system<br />
- meeting the user needs<br />
- adaption of rapidly changing technology<br />
- funding and resourcing<br />
- copyright<br />
- needed expertise<br />
- communication<br />
Many methods have been used in the collaboration<br />
between archives, libraries and<br />
museums. To mention a couple: sharing<br />
knowledge of the systems and services of<br />
libraries, archives and museums, project<br />
staff of national library visiting frequently<br />
memory organisations, taking advantage<br />
of social media for example in drafting<br />
the functional requirements of the system,<br />
communication plan covering the whole<br />
project.<br />
A couple of slogans describe the philosophy<br />
and atmosphere of the project :<br />

In the Google age library users want a single<br />
interface with discovery tools to access<br />
all collections whether they are physical<br />
or digital, including subscription journal<br />
articles, e-books, images, or collections<br />
unique to each institution.<br />
The software world is moving in the<br />
direction of modular open systems, often<br />
even based on open source. So is library<br />
system software. Proprietary solutions still<br />
prevail, but we see a growing number of<br />
open interfaces to them, such as Ex Libris<br />
X-server and the Ex Libris Unified Resource<br />
Management.<br />
At the State and University Library and<br />
the University of Aarhus Libraries we have<br />
moved far into open systems. In January<br />
2010 we changed our library system from<br />
SirsiDynix Horizon to Ex Libris Aleph. At<br />
the same time the role of the traditional<br />
library system part was reduced to the handling<br />
of physical material, the acquisition,<br />
the cataloging and the lending processes.<br />
At the front of the system we are using the<br />
Summa integrated search system build<br />
purely on open source. By faceted search<br />
Summa supports discovery browsing in<br />
all material whether physical or electronic.<br />
Summa which has been designed with<br />
scale in mind can handle hundreds of<br />
millions of items with response times in the<br />
milliseconds.<br />
To organize our rich collection of the National<br />
Library resources, which include radio/TV,<br />
film, newspapers, and the National<br />
Music Collection, we have build the DOMS<br />
(Digital Object Management System) based<br />
on the open source of Fedora Commons.<br />
The integration of the 3 main components,<br />
Aleph, Summa and DOMS is carried<br />
out in a service-oriented architecture. In<br />
addition a number of workflow systems<br />
have been developed for the handling of all<br />
processes not supported within the Aleph<br />
or Fedora frameworks. These workflow<br />
systems include a system for on demand<br />
digitization of material still in analogue<br />
form and a generic workflow system for<br />
mass-digitization within Fedora.<br />
The strategic reasoning behind the architecture<br />
will be presented along with some<br />
general and detailed characteristics of each<br />
of the building blocks: Aleph interfaces,<br />
Summa, DOMS, and the workflow systems.<br />
There will be a demonstration part showing<br />
the key concepts in action, seen from<br />
the end users as well as from the library<br />
personnel.<br />

range of services based upon four major<br />
pillars of the information services industry:<br />
- E-journal, e-package, e-book and print<br />
subscription management service<br />
- E-resource access solutions<br />
- Content aggregation via full-text and<br />
secondary databases<br />
- Targeted sales representation and dedicated<br />
services for publishers<br />
Supporting all types of libraries, research<br />
organisations and corporations in over<br />
200 countries from 31 offices worldwide,<br />
we are strategically positioned to explore<br />
the actual and forthcoming trends of the<br />
information industry.<br />
From our key point of view, during the<br />
last 10 years, we’ve witnessed a deep<br />
change within the role of the librarians<br />
who have had to reposition themselves<br />
in order to survive in their ever changing<br />
environment. Today, they have to provide<br />
support, training and add value for users,<br />
who are increasingly “Google savvy” and<br />
are able to independently carry out their<br />
own research, without fully realising the<br />
unlimited value of a library collection.<br />
Most recently, in addition to carrying out<br />
their main role and providing invaluable<br />
support and training, librarians also have<br />
to become contract/licence managers<br />
and marketing executives. It is here that<br />
EBSCO is available to assist them in this<br />
new approach, by providing them with<br />
consultative services and new generation<br />
library solutions.<br />

For nearly 200 years the NLSA has been<br />
collecting and preserving a complete set<br />
of South African published books, newspapers,<br />
journals and magazines, maps,<br />
acts and other government publications.<br />
Due to embrittlement of paper more than<br />
60% of heritage collections kept at the<br />
National Library of South Africa are in<br />
danger of loss. The new building at the<br />

provision for a mass de-acidification facility.<br />
The Bookkeeper mass de-acidification<br />
system is probably the best system in<br />
terms of requirements and best practice.<br />
The Bookkeeper system was purchased<br />
in 2008 and has been operational since<br />
September 2009. The system has a<br />
capacity of processing more than 30,000<br />
books per year. It can treat both books<br />
and archival non-book material. Being the<br />
only system in Southern Africa, the NLSA<br />

economic challenges of long-term digital<br />
preservation, based on the work of the<br />
Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable<br />
Digital Preservation and Access, which he<br />
co-chaired. Brian will discuss the findings<br />
and conclusions from the Task Force’s final<br />
report Sustainable Economics for a Digital<br />
Planet, and offer some perspective on<br />
what European libraries can do in both<br />
the short-term and long-term to implement<br />
the report’s recommendations.<br />

Libraries deserve<br />
their own cloud<br />
Cloud computing is transforming the way the world collaborates. Companies<br />
are sharing computer resources across the Web to facilitate business<br />
processes, share applications, develop software, deliver information<br />
services and manage all kinds of data and activities. Why? Because cloud<br />
computing provides cost savings, reliability, scalability and security benefits.<br />
OCLC members are working on Web-scale services that will impact libraries<br />
the same way. We’re building a cooperative platform that allows for collective<br />
innovation while helping to reduce costs for everyone. A cloud designed by<br />
and for libraries.<br />

Deacidification for Libraries and Archives<br />
Research libraries around the world trust Bookkeeper technology to preserve<br />
their collections. Bookkeeper is the most used deacidification technology and<br />
the first choice for special collections because it will not harm inks, dyes,<br />
colors, adhesives, fasteners, or cover materials. The process takes minutes<br />
per book and leaves no residual odors or contaminants.<br />
SAFE | EFFECTIVE | PERMANENT<br />
The most trusted name<br />
in preservation.<br />
• 8 locations<br />
• 6 countries<br />
• 4 continents<br />
• 10 National Libraries<br />
