T. Lista,
Az Osztrák Nemzeti Könyvtár (a nemzeti könyvtárak közül elsoként és vélhetoen nem
utolsóként is egyben) megállapodást írt alá a Google-lel, melynek keretében
az ÖNB 400 ezer XVI-XIX. századi könyvét digitalizálják néhány éven belül.
A könyvek ingyen elérhetoek lesznek az ÖNB honlapján, az Europeanaban és a
Google Bookson. Remélem nem kell mondanom, hogy a projekt mit is jelent a
magyar történelem kutatásának szempontjából.

Subject: [DIGLIB] Austrian National Library and Google cooperate in digitisation
** sorry for cross-posting **
As one of the first national libraries worldwide the Austrian National Library [http://www.onb.ac.at] will digitise its complete holdings of public domain books from the 16th to the 19th century. This project will make one of the five internationally most important historical book collections available online. Also all works which are located in the Austrian National Library’s famous State Hall [http://www.onb.ac.at/ev/state_hall.htm] will be digitised.
The project - unique in its size in Austria’s cultural sphere - will be carried out in a Public Private Partnership with Google. Details were announced in a press conference on 15 June 2010 [http://www.onb.ac.at/ev/austrianbooksonline/]. In the next few years around 400.000 public domain works will be digitised. These will be made available without restrictions and free of charge via the digital library of the Austrian National Library and via Google Books [http://books.google.com/]. In addition users will be able to access the digital books via Europeana, the European digital library [http://www.europeana.eu].
The project supports one of the Austrian National Library’s key strategic objectives to provide unrestricted access to its collections to the largest possible audience. In the near future users will find the digitised books in the Austrian National Library’s online catalogue and will be able to access them via a single click, perform full-text searches, read them online or download the entire works. The provision of full-text search will further improve retrievability and accessibility of the works.
With this cooperation the Austrian National Library follows the examples of renowned libraries like Harvard, Stanford or Oxford which have already been collaborating with Google in Google’s Book Search Programme for several years [http://books.google.com/googlebooks/partners.html]. In Europe Google is currently cooperating with ten libraries, in the German speaking countries the Bavarian State Library has been the only partner up to now.
Google funds the digitisation of the entire book collection of about 120 Mio. pages, the Austrian National Library meets the expenses for the preparation of the books and for storing and making available the digital copies in its digital library.
As it will no longer be necessary in many cases to access the original books, this project will also contribute to the protection of the Austrian National Library’s precious historical book collection. The Austrian National Library will archive the digital copies in its digital archival system for the long term. Hence this project does not only contribute to the democratisation of knowledge but also to safeguarding Austria’s cultural heritage.
Further information about the project and FAQs (currently in German only, English FAQs will be provided within the next few weeks) can be found on the project’s website: http://www.onb.ac.at/austrianbooksonline/
