European Digital Mathematics Library

EuDML was a project partly funded by the European Commission in the Competitiveness and
Innovation Framework Programme, Information and Communication Technology Policy
Support Programme, in the period from 1 February 2010 to 31 January 2013. CIP project of
15 partners to build the European Digital Mathematics Library. The project, partially funded by
the EC, started on 1 February 2010, and will last for three years, until 31 January 2013.
EuDML makes the mathematics literature available online in the form of an enduring digital
collection, developed and maintained by a network of institutions.

The British Library

The British Library aims to establish digital information services based on the content of the
British Library's varied collections, and then to develop the capabilities to work with these
collections in new and different ways while improving access to them from all over the world.
The digital library that's being created will consist of a critical mass of digitally held documents
comprising text, still and moving images, and sound, on a variety of subjects, both modern and

historical. The idea is that the digital collections and services will supplement rather than replace
traditional collections. By offering remote electronic document delivery, the library expects to
reach out to new users. The British Library's digital collection is being built from a number of
sources in three main ways: through the digitization of some of the library's existing collection
material (such as ancient texts and manuscripts like the historic Magna Carta and the Old English
poem Beowulf); through the acquisition of published digital materials (such as patents, CDROMs, sound recordings); and through the legal deposit of digital materials published in the
U.K.

Danmarks Elektroniske Forsknings-bibliotek (DEF, the Danish Electronic

Research Library)
The Danmarks elektroniske forsknings-bibliotek (def, the danish electronic research
library) is providing a virtual library for researchers, students, lecturers, and other users of
Danish research institutions through the Internet. A Web gateway will provide access to and the

ability to order from library catalog data and digitized collections, including foreign databases
with periodical articles in full text. An important aspect of the DEF is the ability to permit the
user, via a common search profile, to carry out simultaneous searching in several databases with
the same search string in order to achieve better results. In many cases this facility will also make
the user aware of new information resources. DEF also wants to ensure that rare collections that
are not immediately available can be digitized and opened to the general public.
The Danish Electronic Research Library project is the result of a cooperative effort by the
Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Research, and the Ministry of Education. The Danish
National Library Authority is responsible for actually running the project, which includes
Denmark's 12 largest and 44 medium-sized research libraries as well as Danish National Library.
In due course, more than 200 small research libraries and the country's other information
suppliers and research institutes will become part of DEF.

Glasgow Digital Library (GDL)

The Glasgow Digital Library (GDL) project is a citywide initiative that's trying to establish
GDL as a virtual co-library of the majority of public institutions in Glasgow. The long-term goal

is to create a wholly digital resource to support teaching, learning, and research at all levels in
the city. The project will significantly enhance existing collaboration within the city and will
bring together material currently separated by ownership and physical location.
The National Library of Scotland has created one of the largest online bibliographical databases
in a European library.
