National Digital Library User Interface: operating principle
• Opens access to digital materials and services of libraries, archives and museums
• One national view and institution-specific views (one installation with many views)
• Metadata is indexed to the user interface, documents remain in the back-end systems
• Indexes will replace online searches• Integration of services to the interface (booking, buying)• Social web features
• To be piloted in 2010, available for all in 2011

User interface: content
• Digital objects and reference data: pictures, documents, newspapers, studies, databases, videos and audio recordings
• Public domain material available for all
• Material which use requires identification – Licensed material (e.g. e-magazines, databases)– Material with restricted display and use (e.g. archive material)

User interface: searchable content in 2011
• 1,3 million pages of newspapers• hundreds of thousands photographs and museum objects• 1 million pages of archive material• 50 million database references • licenced material: 300 000 e-books, 20 000 e magazines

Challenges
• Users – many target groups, user needs & user roles• Varying metadata• Harvesting• Integration of other external services into the user interface
• Communication, discussion• Consensus between libraries, museums and archives

public domain from libraries, museums, archives and audio-visual archives to be harvested for Europeana
o Sustainability of the national user interface and back-office systemso Political and strategic support
What does the Finnish National Digital Library get from Europeana? • Visibility• Context • Impact

Benefits of the National Digital Library Project
• improves availability of electronic information resources and makes their use easier
• strengthens cooperation across organisational and sectoral borders
• reduces overlapping expenses from digitisation and management, distribution and preservation of electronic material in libraries, archives and museums
• improves interoperability, manageability and efficiency of processes
• preserves the potential of cultural heritage material as a source for education, research, creative acctivity, business and general access to information far into the future

What is needed to make this all happen?
National Digital Library of Finland is more than a common userinterface and a long term preservation system.
Its creation and maintenance require:
– national guidelines– national coordination mechanisms & governance– common procedures and standards– resources– sustainability– content– good will, dialogue & capacity to change
