Europe's Libraries Programme Available to Purchase

You won't hear politicians talking about it — the single European currency and subsidiarity are far more headline‐grabbing topics — but the European Union has definite ideas on the future of the library: and, indeed, the library of the future. Its Telematics for Libraries Programme of research and technological development supports projects that are intended to increase access to library resources through the development of advanced systems, and to promote the interconnection of libraries, both directly with other libraries and within the European information and communications infrastructure generally.
