25. Kramerius – development group and used technology  Open source – development from 2003  Main purpose – accessing/dissemination of digitized documents (monographs and periodicals)  Czech National Library, Academy of Sciences Library, Qbizm technologies, Moravian Library in Brno  Funded mostly from Ministry of Culture and Academy of Sciences Grant Agency  Used technologies: JAVA, Linux, Apache, Tomcat, Postgres SQL, Lucene

26. Kramerius – current status  version: 3.3.0, build: 29.7.2008,

40. Kramerius – new plans of development  Fundamental change – use of the FEDORA repository (open source USA)  Reasons – FEDORA is robust engine with support of compound objects and it is also usefull by means of long term preservation  Enhancement of administration – users and access rights  Batch operations with digitized documents  New types of docs (maps, audio, video,…)

41. Kramerius – institutional users  Czech National Library, Moravian Library in Brno, State Technical Library, Academy of Sciences Library  Regional Scientific Libraries: Havlíčkův Brod, Hradec Králové, Olomouc, Ostrava, Zlín  Muzeum Libraries: UPM Praha, ŽM Praha, DA Praha, MVČ Hradec Králové  In total circa 5.500.000 pages (circa 500 periodical titles amd 4500 monographs)

43. Academy of Sciences Digital Library  New issues – different approach  Open source E-prints (Uni of Southampton)  Agreements with the Academy Institutes – conditions of dissemination  Final goal – merge of both digital libraries (solution probably Drupal/FEDORA – Islandora?)

48. Collaboration with Google  Digitized journals from Kramerius system - indexing of fulltexts, automatic detection of articles, link from Google to article’s first page or abstratct  New articles in E-prints - indexing of fulltexts, link from Google
