    "Die Nationalbibliotheken von Dänemark, Estland und Lettland haben mit Jahresbeginn den Teilnehmerkreis von »The European Library« (www.europeanlibrary.com) erweitert. Mit der Weiterentwicklung der Portalsoftware ist das Angebot schneller und zuverlässiger geworden. Die unter dem Namen "The Europcan Library," (TEL) im Spätherbst vergangenen Jahres gestartete Europäische Digitale Bibliothek wächst weiter. Bis Ende 2006 werden die Onlinekataloge und mehr als 200 Sammlungen von 2,3 europäischen Nationalbibliotheken über dieses Internetportal recherchierbar sein. Das Angebot wird sich damit innerhalb eines Jahres nahezu verdoppeln. The European library ermöglicht integrierte Suchanfragen über institutionelle und geografische Grenzen hinweg. Das in den umfangreichen Datenbeständen der Bibliotheken repräntierte kuIturelle Erbe Europas wird damit vom Schreibtisch aus zugänglich. Urheberrechtsfreie digitale Dokumente können direkt abgerufen werden. Teilnehmende Bibliotheken passen ihre Kataloge an die Metadaten- und Suchstandards der Europäischen Digitalen Bibliothek an und ermöglichen damit die katalog- und sammlurngsübergreifende Recherche. Für The European Library wurde eine neue Webtechnologie verwendet, mit der Portalfunktionen einfach und preiswert realisiert werden können. Die Software "Portal-in-the-Browser" (www.dlib.org/dlib/february04/vanveen/02vanveen.html) steht Interessenten frei zur Verfügung. Die Entwickler erhoffen eine Anwendung in weiteren kulturellen Bereichen und damit die mögliche Verknüpfung der verschiedenen Sektoren. Für das kommende Frühjahr ist eine Benutzerbefragung zur weiteren Verbesserung von The European library geplant."

    Abstract
    Im Januar 2004 wurde das EU-Projekt »The European Library (TEL)« erfolgreich beendet: Die Errichtung einer virtuellen europäischen Nationalbibliothek hat sich als machbar erwiesen. Die Arbeit im TEL-Projekt wurde im Februar 2001 aufgenommen und konzentrierte sich auf folgende Schwerpunkte: - Untersuchung der Möglichkeiten, Vereinbarungen mit Verlegern über die europaweite Bereitstellung elektronischer Publikationen über die Nationalbibliotheken zu erzielen, - Herstellen eines Konsenses unter den beteiligten Partnern über das angestrebte gemeinsame Serviceangebot sowie die Erstellung eines für alle akzeptablen Geschäftsmodells für die Entwicklung, das Management und die Finanzierung dieses Serviceangebots, - Erstellung eines abgestimmten, für weitere Entwicklungen offenen Metadaten-Modells für das geplante Serviceangebot, - Entwicklung und Test einer technischen Umgebung, welche den integrierten Zugang zu den Daten der Partner sowohl über Z39.50 als auch über einen zentralen, XML-basierten Index ermöglicht. Die Ergebnisse des TEL-Projektes sind ein Geschäftsmodell, ein Metadatenmodell sowie eine technische Lösung für die Integration von Daten, auf welche über Z39.50 oder über einen zentralen, XML-basierten Index zugegriffen werden kann. Aufgrund dieser Ergebnisse beschlossen die TEL-Partner (die Nationalbibliotheken von Deutschland, Finnland, Großbritannien, Italien, der Niederlande, Portugal, Slowenien und der Schweiz sowie das Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo Unico delle Biblioteche Italia ne e per le Informazioni Bibliografiche ICCU), nach Beendigung der Projektphase TEL als kostenloses Webangebot der europäischen Nationalbibliotheken aufzubauen. Alle Projektpartner erklärten sich bereit, sich an der Umsetzung und Startfinanzierung zu beteiligen. Langfristig ist die Beteiligung aller in der Konferenz der Europäischen Nationalbibliothekare (CENL) vertretenen Nationalbibliotheken geplant. Das TEL-Projekt ist aus der Idee der Weiterentwicklung von Gabriel entstanden, dem Webservice der CENL-Bibliotheken. Im Jahre 1994 beschlossen die Direktorinnen und Direktoren der europäischen Nationalbibliotheken die Einrichtung eines gemeinsamen Online-Forums, um einen schnelleren und einfacheren Austausch über neue Entwicklungen und Aktivitäten in europäischen Bibliotheken zu ermöglichen. Die Idee wurde bald ausgeweitet, sodass nicht nur ein Forum für alle CENL-Mitglieder, sondern auch ein Informationsangebot über CENL, ihre Mitgliedsbibliotheken und deren OnlineDienste als »single point of access« geplant wurde. Die Nationalbibliotheken von Deutschland, Finnland, Frankreich, Großbritannien und den Niederlanden übernahmen die Entwicklung eines prototypischen Webangebots, das sie »Gabriel - Gateway and Bridge to Europe's National Libraries« nannten. Gabriel bietet Informationen auf drei Ebenen: auf der europäischen Ebene über Kooperationsprojekte und internationale Veranstaltungen, auf nationaler Ebene Beschreibungen der Bibliotheken, ihrer Funktionen und ihrer Sammlungen und schließlich auf individueller Ebene die Dienstleistungsangebote der einzelnen Bibliotheken.

    Abstract
    The paper will explore the issues surrounding the development of an evaluation framework for a supranational digital library system, as seen through the TEL (The European Library) project. It will describe work an the project to date, and seek to establish what are the key drivers, priorities and barriers encountered, in developing such a framework. TEL is being funded by the EU as an Accompanying Measure in the IST program. Its main focus of is an consensus building, and also includes preparatory technical work to develop testbeds, which will gauge to what extent interoperability is achievable. In order for TEL to take its place as a major Information Society initiative of the EU, it needs to be closely attuned to the needs, expectations and realities of its user communities, which comprise the citizens of the project's national partners. To this end the evaluation framework described in this paper, is being developed by establishing the users' viewpoints and priorities in relation to the key project themes. A summary of the issues to be used in the baseline, and to be expanded upon in the paper, follows: - Establishing the differing contexts of the national library partners, and the differing national priorities which will impact an TEL - Exploring the differing expectations relating to building and using the hybrid library - Exploring the differing expectations relating to TEL. TEL needs to add value - what does this mean in each partner state, and for the individuals within them? 1. Introduction to TEL TEL (The European Library) is a thirty month project, funded by the European Commission as part of its Fifth Framework Programme for research. It aims to set up a co-operative framework for access to the major national, mainly digital, collections in European national libraries. TEL is funded as an Accompanying Measure, designed to support the work of the IST (Information Society Technologies) Programme an the development of access to cultural and scientific knowledge. TEL will stop short of becoming a live service during the lifetime of the project, and is focused an ensuring co-operative and concerted approaches to technical and business issues associated with large-scale content development. It will lay the policy and technical groundwork towards a pan European digital library based an distributed digital collections, and providing seamless access to the digital resources of major European national libraries. It began in February, 2001, and has eight national library partners: Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. It is also seeking to encourage the participation of all European national libraries in due course.

    Abstract
    Purpose - To describe the process and results of the business-planning workpackage of The European Library (TEL) project, in which eight national libraries collaborated on a joint approach to access to their digital libraries. Design/methodology/approach - The methodology was in three parts: first, a literature review and the mapping of the partners' existing and planned digital products and services, then a structured interview or survey to determine the partners' business requirements from TEL, then a harmonization process, and finally the results were then combined with normal business planning elements to produce a mission and final business plan. Findings - Business planning for digital libraries has hitherto not been widely reported. The methodology proved to be an effective method of achieving mutual agreement among partners with widely different aims and characteristics. Eleven harmonized service aspirations were agreed and five categories of business aims. Research limitations/implications - Focused on the business aims of national libraries, but the methodology can be relevant to other collaborative projects. Together with the few existing other reports, this can form the basis for a new field of work. Practical implications - The work described led directly to the creation of an operational service, which will be open to all European national libraries. Originality/value - As far as is known, the first reporting of a collaborative international planning process for a digital library, and maybe the first multi-partner business plan between national libraries.

    Abstract
    The National Science Foundation's (NSF) National Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL) program seeks to create, develop, and sustain a national digital library supporting science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) education at all levels -- preK-12, undergraduate, graduate, and life-long learning. The resulting virtual institution is expected to catalyze and support continual improvements in the quality of science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) education in both formal and informal settings. The vision for this program has been explored through a series of workshops over the past several years and documented in accompanying reports and monographs. (See [1-7, 10, 12, and 13].) These efforts have led to a characterization of the digital library as a learning environments and resources network for science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education, that is: * designed to meet the needs of learners, in both individual and collaborative settings; * constructed to enable dynamic use of a broad array of materials for learning primarily in digital format; and * managed actively to promote reliable anytime, anywhere access to quality collections and services, available both within and without the network. Underlying the NSDL program are several working assumptions. First, while there is currently no lack of "great piles of content" on the Web, there is an urgent need for "piles of great content". The difficulties in discovering and verifying the authority of appropriate Web-based material are certainly well known, yet there are many examples of learning resources of great promise available (particularly those exploiting the power of multiple media), with more added every day. The breadth and interconnectedness of the Web are simultaneously a great strength and shortcoming. Second, the "unit" or granularity of educational content can and will shrink, affording the opportunity for users to become creators and vice versa, as learning objects are reused, repackaged, and repurposed. To be sure, this scenario cannot take place without serious attention to intellectual property and digital rights management concerns. But new models and technologies are being explored (see a number of recent articles in the January issue of D-Lib Magazine). Third, there is a need for an "organizational infrastructure" that facilitates connections between distributed users and distributed content, as alluded to in the third bullet above. Finally, while much of the ongoing use of the library is envisioned to be "free" in the sense of the public good, there is an opportunity and a need to consider multiple alternative models of sustainability, particularly in the area of services offered by the digital library. More details about the NSDL program including information about proposal deadlines and current awards may be found at <http://www.ehr.nsf.gov/ehr/due/programs/nsdl>.

    Abstract
    The National Science Foundation's (NSF) National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education Digital Library (NSDL) program comprises a set of projects engaged in a collective effort to build a national digital library of high quality science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educational materials for students and teachers at all levels, in both formal and informal settings. By providing broad access to a rich, reliable, and authoritative collection of interactive learning and teaching resources and associated services in a digital environment, the NSDL will encourage and sustain continual improvements in the quality of STEM education for all students, and serve as a resource for lifelong learning. Though the program is relatively new, its vision and operational framework have been developed over a number of years through various workshops and planning meetings. The NSDL program held its first formal funding cycle during fiscal year 2000 (FY00), accepting proposals in four tracks: Core Integration System, Collections, Services, and Targeted Research. Twenty-nine awards were made across these tracks in September 2000. Brief descriptions of each FY00 project appeared in an October 2000 D-Lib Magazine article; full abstracts are available from the Awards Section at <http://www.ehr.nsf.gov/ehr/due/programs/nsdl/>. In FY01 the program received one hundred-nine proposals across its four tracks with the number of proposals in the collections, services, and targeted research tracks increasing to one hundred-one from the eighty received in FY00. In September 2001 grants were awarded to support 35 new projects: 1 project in the core integration track, 18 projects in the collections track, 13 in the services track, and 3 in targeted research. Two NSF directorates, the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) and the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) are both providing significant co-funding on several projects, illustrating the NSDL program's facilitation of the integration of research and education, an important strategic objective of the NSF. Thus far across both fiscal years of the program fifteen projects have enjoyed this joint support. Following is a list of the FY01 awards indicating the official NSF award number (each beginning with DUE), the project title, the grantee institution, and the name of the Principal Investigator (PI). A condensed description of the project is also included. Full abstracts are available from the Awards Section at the NSDL program site at <http://www.ehr.nsf.gov/ehr/due/programs/nsdl/>. (Grants with shared titles are formal collaborations and are grouped together.) The projects are displayed by track and are listed by award number. In addition, six of these projects have explicit relevance and application to K-12 education. Six others clearly have potential for application to the K-12 arena. The NSDL program will have another funding cycle in fiscal year 2002 with the next program solicitation expected to be available in January 2002, and an anticipated deadline for proposals in mid-April 2002.

    Abstract
    In fall 2004, the National Science Foundation's (NSF) National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education Digital Library (NSDL) program made new grants in three tracks: Pathways, Services, and Targeted Research. Together with projects started in fiscal years (FY) 2000-03 these new grants continue the development of a national digital library of high quality educational resources to support learning at all levels in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). By enabling broad access to reliable and authoritative learning and teaching materials and associated services in a digital environment, the National Science Digital Library expects to promote continual improvements in the quality of formal STEM education, and also to serve as a resource for informal and lifelong learning. Proposals for the FY05 funding cycle are due April 11, 2005, and the full solicitation is available at <http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf05545>. Two NSF directorates, the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) and the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) have both provided significant co-funding for over twenty projects in the first four years of the program, illustrating the NSDL program's facilitation of the integration of research and education, an important strategic objective of the NSF. In FY2004, the NSDL program introduced a new Pathways track, replacing the earlier Collections track. The Services track strongly encouraged two particular types of projects: (1) selection services and (2) usage development workshops. * Pathways projects provide stewardship for educational content and services needed by a broad community of learners; * Selection services projects identify and increase the high-quality STEM educational content known to NSDL; and * Usage development workshops engage new communities of learners in the use of NSDL and its resources.
