4. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES LIBER Road Map Towards Digitisation  Content  Resource Discovery  Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights  Digital Preservation

5. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES LIBER Road Map Content  To digitise library content on the theme of travel and tourism for use in Europeana  To establish an aggregator through which LIBER libraries which require such a service can provide content to Europeana; and to seek a sustainable basis for the aggregator’s continuing functioning  To mobilise the efforts of the research libraries in support of Europeana  To provide examples of best practice in digitisation methods and processes, constituting a learning opportunity for all libraries wishing to supply digitised material to Europeana

6. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES EuropeanaTravel Facts and Figures  EuropeanaTravel  €2.8 million project, with 50% funding from the EU  Launched in Tallinn on 11 May 2009  Over 1,000,000 pages/items to be digitised on themes of Travel & Tourism  19 partners: –National Library of Estonia –National Library of Finland –National Library of Latvia –National Library of Poland –Austrian National Library –Slovak National Library –National and University Library of Slovenia –National Library of the Netherlands

9. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES EuropeanTravel Workpackages  WP 1 Planning digitisation  WP 2 Carrying out digitisation  WP 3 Making LIBER partners’ digitised material available to Europeana  WPs 1-3 deal with digitising and making available partners’ content on Travel and Tourism  WP 3 also tackles the major wider strategic issue of how research libraries’ material could be aggregated to comply with Europeana’s planned model of dealing only, or mainly, with aggregators and not with individual institutions  WP 4 Dissemination  WP 5 Co-ordination and management  WPs 4 and 5 provide dissemination and management solutions

10. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES LIBER Road Map Aggregation  PEARL (Principal Europeana Aggregator for Research Libraries)  Aim is  to get digital objects housed in Europe’s research libraries indexed in TEL (The European Library) –http://search.theeuropeanlibrary.org/portal/en/index.htmlhttp://search.theeuropeanlibrary.org/portal/en/index.html  and discoverable in Europeana (the EU-funded portal for digital objects –http://www.europeana.eu/portal/http://www.europeana.eu/portal/

11. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES International/Country/ Consortium Partnership Local/National Repository Platform and Access TEL aggregating for LIBER OAI Architecture for LIBER’s Partnership with Europeana and TEL Europeana portal OAI

12. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES PEARL  Submitted for EU funding in 2009  Came 13 th out of 80, with only 10 projects being funded  PEARL would aggregate  1,123,279 digital objects and  2,220,372 pages/images  in 85 collections from around Europe

13. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Mother of PEARL  Development project (Oct. 2009 – June 2010)  Testing  Ingest of text, audio, images and film into Europeana via TEL from LIBER libraries  Desk study of copyright implications for each type of material  Studies of aggregation into TEL and Europeana  Use results to feed into re-worked PEARL bid  To be submitted for EU funding June 2010

14. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES LIBER Road Map Copyright and IPR  LIBER Road Map has a lot to say on copyright  Articles 14-17  Viviane Redinge, Commissioner for Information Society and Media, has re-iterated her call for a mass scale digitisation of books and orphan works to provide "Europe's answer to the Google settlement”  With all the discussion over the Google Book Settlement, the Commissioner has said it is only a matter of time before it is approved in one form or another

15. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Copyright and IPR  Commissioner has also said:  "We should create a modern set of European rules that encourage the digitisation of books, including one or several European Right Registries able to guarantee that publishers and authors’ rights are respected and fairly remunerated, in line with the principles of European Copyright Law."  The Commission will launch a public debate and issue a paper with the aim to aid EU-wide licensing for digital content

16. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Copyright and IPR  LIBER’s statement to the EU Google Books hearing on 7 September calls for a similar pan-European framework  [The EU] can, through its legislative powers, draw up legislation to be adopted in the member states which creates a framework for copyright laws and Directives which will reflect the advances made in the US Google Book Settlement and give the European researcher and learner the same advantages as the US user  See http://www.libereurope.eu/node/415http://www.libereurope.eu/node/415

17. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES LIBER Road Map Digital Preservation: LIFE 2 Model

18. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES LIFE 2  Model used on Burney Newspapers at the British Library  Important as there are analogue and digital equivalents  Over 1,100 volumes of the earliest-known newspapers in the history of printing  Headline conclusion of LIFE 2 is that the same lifecycle model can be used to cost curation of analogue and digital materials Total per entity costs minus creation costs (Year 1 )

19. UCL LIBRARY SERVICES LIFE 2 and LIFE 3  Too simplistic to say that digital curation is more cost-effective than analogue curation  LIBER Digitisation Case Study has established an approach which allows comparison of digital and analogue costs  Using the same formula and analysis of the workflows –See LIBER Quarterly, vol. 18 (3-4), pp. 337-56 –at http://liber.library.uu.nl/http://liber.library.uu.nl/  LIFE 3 now developing an open source costing tool  To be available to LIBER members who are already using LIFE tools
