Abstract
A Specific Support Action under Activity 2.3.6.1 of FP6-2004-IST-3. Die Deutsche Bibliothek (National Library of Germany) coordinates this proposal in which the national libraries of all the new member states of the EU are participants. Other partners will be the British Library, the National Library of the Netherlands, the Swiss National Library and CENL (Conference of European National Librarians). Indicative budget is EUR 1,4 million over 24 months. This will be the first serious attempt to develop the research agenda for the knowledge society in the 10 new member states (NMS). Objective of the SSA is to increase the potential of the national libraries and related national networks to promote involvement of knowledge society actors in IST activities in FP6 and FP7 by ensuring better access to essential European information resources. Specifically, the project will extend the networking services developed by TEL (The European Library) to the 10 NMS, investigate the state of readiness of their knowledge society actors to participate in IST projects and activities, raise awareness and establish potential partnerships through seminars, meetings and exchanges and provide strong multilingual web support for easy access to networked resources and for local dissemination. The impact of the project will be that TEL services will be available in all 10 national libraries with an interface in the local language, and that NMS participation in future calls for the cultural heritage and learning sectors will increase to 40%. It is also expected that these developments will assist NMS participation in many other areas of EU-funded research.
