TEL-ME-MOR first press release

European project TEL-ME-MOR has just released its first press release focusing on a survey conducted among the 10 national libraries of the European Union New Member States.

The issues range from intellectual, financial and organisational to the management experience of digitised and born-digital content, the size of digital collections, application and adoption of international standards and technological infrastructure
