Only hours within seeing light of day European Online Library crashed due to an overwhelming number of users. Being a virtual librarian I am interested and love all things online. But this is the fear of online life. Crashes!
Apart from fears and the fact that it will be back in December, this is going to be a very popular library – not only because it is European but also because it is online and accessible.
It provides access to some 2 million digital objects selected from Europe’s Museums, libraries, archives and audio-visual collections. They have a multilingual interface and English is one of the languages available.
I am amazed at how so many different entities worked together to bring this project this far. Congratulations Europeana! Hope you come back online soon and have no further hiccups.
It was about time I changed this part of my blog as I can no longer claim to be the fresh student looking for a job. I will post information that has to do with librarianship, dealing with patrons, dealing with co-workers, my research interests and other issues in the library, including things I was afraid to ask, information I wanted to know and much more.....
