LIBER Road Map Towards Digitisation

Content Resource Discovery Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights Digital Preservation


LIBER Road MapContent

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


EuropeanaTravelFacts 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:

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


LIBER Road MapAggregation

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.html

and discoverable in Europeana (the EU-funded portal for digital objects

PEARL

Submitted for EU funding in 2009 Came 13th 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


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


LIBER Road MapCopyright 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


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


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/415


LIBER Road MapDigital Preservation: LIFE 2 Model


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)


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/

LIFE 3 now developing an open source costing tool To be available to LIBER members who are already using LIFE tools
