CONCLUSIONS
The Europeana Libraries projected interviewed LIBER members on the idea of a library aggregator: the potential popularity of a domain-level aggregator for libraries, bringing together national and research library content; the services and added value that such an aggregator might provide; how it should be managed and governed; and how it ought to be financed. Also, LIBER members were asked to rate possible services of the aggregator (access to libraries’ repositories; enabling searching of hard and digital copies; enriching metadata and return it to contributing libraries; OCR services, etc)
EL: UCL was scientific coordinator and leaded the WP on the study of research library needs and new business model for TEL LIBER: participated in that WP; communication and dissemination Other LIBER members: content providers Identified the needs of the aggregator (in Tartu): access to IR repositories, search of bibliographic records in hard and digital format, OCR services for content providers, push data out to other academic services, enriching metadata (LOD) and returning it to contributing libraries. EN: LIBER leading communication WP LIBER members: content providers (mainly national libraries, also University of Belgrade, eg.) Ecloud: Assesing researcher’s needs in the cloud (how they search, the properties of the resources they value, how the organize the information they use, how the share info with peers) Explotiting Ecloud with services and tools for researchers Legal, strategic and economic issues Launch Europeana Research
