LIBER 39TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE - Statsbiblioteket

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