[Peter Suber]

[Forwarding from Europeana Communications.  --Peter Suber.]


The European Commission has released a communication about the next steps 
for Europeana and digitisation in Europe:
<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/itemlongdetail.cfm?item_id=5181>http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/itemlongdetail.cfm?item_id=5181

It sets the target for items in Europeana at 10 million for 2010, and also 
addresses the low level of digitisation in Europe and the disparities in 
copyright legislation across the Member States.

The press release is available in all languages of the European Union
