 Subject files  digital publications that offer comprehensive, explanatory coverage of specific themes related to Europe  Research corpus  Thematic research collections = “… new genre of scholarly production…” “…digital aggregations of primary sources and related materials that support research on a theme” (Carole. L. Palmer) From European Navigator to Transformation of ENA– stage 2 : recasting ENA resources (1)

Creation of two new portals : Research – Education & LLL – Portals = ressources + tools + collaborative platform From European Navigator to Transformation of ENA– stage 2 : Two new dedicated portals
