Bei Europeana.eu geht es um Ideen und Inspiration.

Das Projekt begann 1994 und hat seither einige Umstellungen erlebt. Mitte 2007 sind wir mit anderer Technik und anderem Design erneut an den Start gegangen. (Für technisch Interessierte: Alle Texte wurden nach XML überführt, soweit als möglich zusammengefaßt und in der Struktur vereinheitlicht. Basis des Projekts Gutenberg-DE ist jetzt ein typo3-CMS). Seither sind über 1100 Bücher und ca. 300 Autoren neu hinzugekommen, d.h. jeden Monat erscheinen bei uns über 60 neue Werke. Der größte Teil dieser Bücher wurde im Projekt gaga (www.gaga.net) bearbeitet. Veröffentlicht werden im Projekt Gutenberg-DE Werke, deren Copyright abgelaufen ist, d.h., deren Autor (und bei fremdsprachigen Werke auch der Übersetzer) länger als 70 Jahre tot ist.

New eBook Feature: Introducing MyCopy
Pilot project allows eBook users to order soft cover books through SpringerLink
MyCopy
Springer has launched MyCopy powered by SpringerLink, a pilot project to expand its services to eBook users.
What is MyCopy?
MyCopy allows a library’s registered patrons to order soft cover copies, for their personal use, of those Springer eBooks that the library has previously purchased. Initially, 11 selected libraries and research institutions in the USA and Canada take part in the pilot project with more test partners set to join in early 2009.
How does it work?
The MyCopy offer is currently valid for more than 11,000 eBooks out of a total of 29,00 Springer eBooks published since 2005. MyCopy books feature a full color cover while the book content itself is printed in black and white. They can be ordered by registered patrons at libraries that have previously purchased a Springer eBook collection. All MyCopy books are priced at $24.95 (including shipping and handling within the USA and Canada).
Der Beitrag des Blogs keimform.de beschäftigt sich mit dem Internet Archive und stellt dieses kurz aus eigener Sicht dar.
Der Blog beschäftigt sich mit Projektarbeit im allgemeinen.
"Unter dem Label keimform.de werden keine eigenen Inhalte erarbeitet. Die Blog-Einträge der unterschiedlichen Blogger/innen sind der Inhalt. Daher die Aussage: keimform.de ist kein Projekt, sondern unter der Adresse keimform.de wird aus persönlicher Sicht über Projekte, Themen und Theorien berichtet. Alle geäußerten Bewertungen und Meinungen sind ausschließlich die Meinung der jeweiligen Bloggerin bzw. des jeweiligen Bloggers. Die dabei erzeugten Texte gehören niemandem, also allen (vgl.

The Internet Archive’s Collections Team started this blog to highlight new collections and interesting items from the Movies, Audio, and Education collections.
Aktuelle News und Entwicklungen des IA
In Pooling Scholars’ Digital Resources, einem gestern bei Inside Higher Ed erschienenen Artikel, skizziert Andy Guess, wie durch eine neue Funktion von Zotero, dem Bibliographie-Plugin für Firefox und Word, Benutzer dazu angeregt werden könnten, gemeinfreie Digitalisate miteinander zu teilen. Das Internet Archive soll dafür entsprechenden Online-Speicherplatz, automatische Texterkennung sowie die Volltext-Durchsuchbarkeit zur Verfügung stellen, die Andrew W. Mellon Foundation soll die Kooperation finanziell unterstützen.
Das deutsche Kompetenznetzwerk zur digitalen Langzeitarchivierung.

JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment Framework) is a software Framework fully implemented in Java language. It simplifies the implementation of multi-agent systems through a middle-ware that complies with the FIPA specifications and through a set of graphical tools that supports the debugging and deployment phases. The agent platform can be distributed across machines (which not even need to share the same OS) and the configuration can be controlled via a remote GUI.
Internetnutzer sollen künftig in fünf der renommiertesten Bibliotheken der Welt online stöbern können - dank Suchmaschinenprimus Google. Die Bibliotheksbestände der drei US-Universitäten von [extern] Stanford, [extern] Harvard und [extern] Michigan sowie der britischen [extern] Oxford-Universität und der [extern] New York Public Library sollen zu einem großen Teil nach und nach gescannt, digitalisiert und anschließend online verfügbar gemacht werden - kostenlos per Google-Suche.
This table contains DML bibliographic items from various repositories. # # Coding is as follows: # ASCII based (ISO Latin 8859-1 extended) # Every line starting with a '#' is a comment # # the list of items from any repository is preceded by lines like the following: # # nick: <repository nickname, usually short or acronym> # name: <repository name> # addr: <repository web address> # comm: <any comment concerning the actual repository # # After that, the bibliographic items of that repository are described by: # # item_title: <name or title of item> # item_years: <year(s) published or covered> # item_url: <web address of content page> # item_type: <journal|multivol|book> # (possibly other colon separated pairs, first component should begin with "item_") # item_end: <optionally some comment like a counting number...> # This last line ends any item entry. # # Some items do contain commented metadata for later use. # # comment lines like #--------------------------- or similar # could separate entries from different repositories
A Creative Commons license is inappropriate for cataloging records, precisely because they are unlikely to be copyrightable. The whole legal premise of Creative Commons (and open source) licenses is that someone owns the copyright, and thus they have the right to license you to use it, and if you want a license, these are the terms. If you don’t own a copyright in the first place, there’s no way to license it under Creative Commons.

we're informing libraries about the benefits of open source, enabling them to make choices about how best to provide their communities and staff with better technology services. We enable libraries to use open-source software to its full potential by providing outstanding commercial support services - hosting, migration assistance, staff training, support, software maintenance, and development – solutions tailored to each customer's needs.
Use of open source not only lowers the per-library cost of running software, it also empowers libraries with a higher level of control over customization and the overall direction of software development.
The newly renamed Internet Christian Library (ICLnet) has grown upon the foundation laid by The Institute for Christian Leadership (ICL), which provided its resources to Christian higher education institutions from 1983 through 1995. Those services included publishing the Faculty Dialogue and sponsoring a host of writing seminars and workshops for faculty which addressed critical issues facing Christian higher education. The
Vivarium is the home of digitized manuscripts, art, rare books, photographs, and other resources from two Benedictine monastic and educational communities in central Minnesota.

Note: certain collections are restricted to on-campus access only.
unAPI is a tiny HTTP API for the few basic operations necessary to copy discrete, identified content from any kind of web application.
There are already many cool APIs and protocols for syndicating, searching, harvesting, and linking from diverse services on the web. They're great, and they're widely used, but they're all different, for different reasons. unAPI only provides the few basic operations necessary to perform simple clipboard-like copy of content objects across all sites. It can be quickly implemented, consistently used, and easily layered over other well-known APIs.
Why ‡biblios?
A rich internet application
Though browser-based, ‡biblios has a very rich user interface and takes advantage of JavaScript toolkits like YUI, ExtJS, Google Gears for local storage of bibliographic records.
Built-in metasearch
Much of cataloging consists of copy-cataloging and so ‡biblios ships with built-in metasearch capability using a web services layer built on the Pazpar2 federated search library. Users can set up and perform cross-database searches on any Z39.50 targets.
Built around library standards
The ‡biblios record editor currently supports MARC21/MARCXML records and utilizes a plugin architecture to easily allow expansion to other formats such as MODS, Dublin Core, etc.
Library Standards Compliant
Built in support for MARC21, MARCXML, Z39.50
Free and Open Source
‡biblios is available under the terms of the GPL software license, which ensures free and open access to use, modification and redistribution.
Koha is the first open-source Integrated Library System (ILS). In use worldwide, its development is steered by a growing community of libraries collaborating to achieve their technology goals. Koha's impressive feature set continues to evolve and expand to meet the needs of its user base.
