EURILIA ‐ European Initiative in Library and Information in Aerospace

Aerospace library collections are a well‐defined pan‐European subject, for which standardized access and interconnection can add enormously to their value over any one collection and allow libraries with less‐developed library services to improve these facilities and at the same time enable those which are more advanced to upgrade their systems. EURILIA, which was part of the EC Libraries Programme, aimed to enhance the Libraries′ R&D and education process which underpins the aerospace sector by establishing a new service based on researched user information needs and development of a standardized pan‐European system for information access, retrieval, image browsing and document delivery.
