Preparatory research: Digitization on demand

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wagenaar, A. <a.wagenaar(a)library.leidenuniv.nl> Date: Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 4:01 AM Apologies for cross-posting. Leiden University Library's Special Collections department is conducting preparatory research for the implementation of "Digitization on demand". Through such a service, customers can use their PC to request digitization of an item, to be supplied digitally (e.g. in a web interface or via e-mail), usually for a fee. An example of such a service is the National Library of Australia's CopiesDirect service (accessible through http://www.nla.gov.au/copiesdirect). For this research project, I am interested in your experience with digitization on demand. Is your institution offering digitization on demand (of archives, special collections and/or general collections), or are you considering offering this service? If not, has it been considered and what are the arguments not to develop this service? I am interested in your experience and would appreciate any information you can supply. My e-mail address is a.wagenaar(a)library.leidenuniv.nl. I can be reached by phone at +31 (0)71 5272700 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

INTERNET PORTALS

by KALAMOS BOOKS

MACY In an effort to meet the challenges of the digital era, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday presented its two internet portals<http://www.mfa.gr/www.mfa.gr/Articles/en-US/ts12012009_SB1639.htm>for both the business community and civil society. Addressing the event, the Minister stressed that promoting economic diplomacy <http://www.mfa.gr/www.mfa.gr/en-US/Economic+Diplomacy/> and capitalizing on international funds constitutes a fundamental policy on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, especially at a time when the dire economic situation calls for intensification of the assistance provided to the Greek business community. Accommodating the needs of the Greek business community to access information concerning potential business opportunities with partners abroad, the Ministry inaugurated the "Agora<http://www.mfa.gr/www.mfa.gr/en-US/Economic+Diplomacy/AGORA/>" internet portal, (www.agora.mfa.gr) providing information such as business directories, information on public tenders and procurements, as well as information on business missions and fairs. Moreover, 500 market researches and studies can be accessed through the website in addition to a full business guide to foreign bureaucracy and investment incentives law. Together with the enhancement of economic diplomacy, the Ministry set clear-cut goals to promote international development cooperation. The launch of the international funding portal (www.aidfunding.mfa.gr) aims at increasing NGO's and Greek businesses' share in funding by international financial institutions such as the World Bank, Europeaid and the UN network. Browsing through the interactive pages of the portal, one can gain access to integrated support services such as a database for tenders, on-line applications, information on training seminars and practical guides to transacting with international institutions. -- June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com
