Why are we here?
5 million digital objects from research libraries
+
Millions of bibliographic records, digital objects and full-text pages from national
libraries
=A new one-stop-shop for
digital humanities and social science researchers

The First Step: Getting To Know The Researcher
“If you give an audience a chance, they will do half your acting for you.”
–William Hazlitt (English writer)

How did we ‘meet the audience’?
• Conferences & Workshops• Group discussions• Online Networking (Twitter, blogs)

What We Learned
• Gather a critical and contextual mass of content.
“The humanities community needs a critical mass of digital resources and needs common tools, services, and repositories if they are to move beyond ‘boutique projects’
to a solid foundation of theory and method.” –Christine L. Borgman, Presidential Chair in Information Studies, UCLA
• Information must be easy to cite and reuse.
• Put it in their workflow.

What the project will achieve
• A valuable resource for researchers with full-text search capabilities
• A robust network of national and research libraries• An efficient sustainable aggregation model for research
libraries across EuropeThis means
developing the framework for a library domainaggregation
service!!!!

Getting there: using the same hymn sheet
• Create a sustainable business model• Create standards for best practice• Communicate value of Europeana Librariesto research librariesandto researchers• Develop dedicated portal

Scenario building: what should the service look like?
• Funding• Services• Service delivery• Content acquisition
We were locked in a room…

Validation of value propositions
• We keep asking….• Enabling searching of bibliographic records of texts in hard copy
and metadata for related digitised texts at the same time• Offering OCR services for providers’ digital content to support full
text searching in the portal • Pushing the data out to other academic / research services• Providing access to universities’ own digital repositories…and more?

Getting to the finishing line
• Governance requirements • Governance agreement • IPR requirements specification (full text delivery) • Business and network development plan
