The National Library of Australia, in collaboration with the Australian State and Territory libraries, are creating a free online service that gives full-text searching of newspaper articles. This will include newspapers published in each state and territory from the 1800s to the mid-1950s, when copyright applies. The first Australian newspaper, published in Sydney in 1803, is included in the program. The Beta service contains 70,000 newspaper pages from 1803 onwards and additional pages are being added each week.

The creation of the SeeAlso linkserver protocol was occasioned by the need to enrich title views in library catalogues of the German Common Library Network (GBV) with links to additional information. However, instead of integrating those links into title records and tailoring the presentation to our specific OPAC software, we decided to create a general linkserver Web service.

MACS aims to provide multilingual subject access to library catalogues. MACS enables users to simultaneously search the catalogues of the project's partner libraries in the language of their choice (English, French, German). The partners are: the Swiss National Library (SNL), project leader, the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), The British Library (BL) and Die Deutsche Bibliothek (DDB). The project is running under the auspices of the Conference of European National Librarians (CENL). This multilingual search is made possible thanks to the equivalence links created between the three indexing languages used in these libraries: SWD (for German), RAMEAU (for French) and LCSH (for English).

CrissCross ist ein von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) gefördertes und von der Fachhochschule Köln in Kooperation mit der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek (DNB) durchgeführtes Projekt, dessen Ziel die Erstellung eines multilingualen, thesaurusbasierten und benutzergerechten Recherchevokabulars zu heterogen erschlossenen Dokumenten ist. Hierzu werden am Standort Köln alle Sachschlagwörter der Schlagwortnormdatei (SWD) mit Notationen der Dewey-Dezimalklassifikation (DDC) verknüpft. Als Beitrag zum Projekt MACS werden durch die DNB zeitgleich in Fortführung der in MACS entwickelten Methodik SWD-Sachschlagwörter mit ihren Äquivalenten in der englischen Schlagwortsprache Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) und der französischen Schlagwortsprache RAMEAU verbunden.
