not in line with standards.
• Widespread use of web search services (Google etc.) for
sources discovery instead of library catalogues .

objects.
• Knowledge acquired in co-operation with projects under
the auspices of the European Union and in the common
service of European national libraries.

cultural treasures. Provides much easier access to the
knowledge kept in libraries.

the digital items. Intended for all web users, particularly
