Euro library prototype in 2008

Laura Smith

A comprehensive European Digital Library that brings together cultural material from libraries, archives and museums across the EU has moved a step closer to reality.

An EU expert group is hoping to launch a prototype by November, with digitised versions of at least two million books, photographs, maps, archive records and film material.

The plan is to expand the collection to more than six million items by 2010. A simple search mechanism will help users locate material.

The high-level expert group includes senior members of the British Medical Journal publishing group, Google UK's European operations, the British Library, the Conference of European National Librarians and the Federation of European Publishers.
