Pros & cons of Gabriel

Pros• All NLs had a presence on the web (Malta did

not have a website until 2003!)• Ability to search website, even if a NL itself did

not have search engine• Cooperation, share knowledge, networking

Cons• Not able to search the catalogues/collections

of the NLs Enter TEL Project (2001)

B 2001 - Begin TEL Project

Haalbaarheidsstudie

Page 11: TheEuropeanLibrary.org - a (non technical) case study. Olaf Janssen lecturing for Radboud  University Nijmegen, 12-05-2005

11

• Haalbaarheidsstudie : is het mogelijk om 1 centrale dienst te creeren waarmee je de collecties van alle Europese nationale bibliotheken kunt doorzoeken??

• Gefinancierd door de EU (30 maanden) + eigen middelen – 2MEuro

• 8 pilot libraries: Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Switzerland, United Kingdom.

• If successful other NLs can participate too

TEL Project (2001-2004)

Denk niet alleen puur technisch (‘paar databaseesjes aan elkaar knopen’), maar denk ook

• Consensus building: alle neuzen dezelfde kant op – de wil moet er zijn.

• Relaties met uitgevers – copyright issues - open access vs. restricted access

• Meertaligheid (37 talen binnen CENL)• Business models/marktonderzoek - is er

behoefte aan TEL? Zo ja, hoe financier je dit?• Politieke obstakels wegwerken/herkennen

TEL Project (2001-2004)
