EU-membership) may participate in the programme with community funding.
In Central and Eastern Europe, these states are Bulgaria, Czech Republic,
Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia,
once the Association Agreement is in force. This event is an opportunity to
meet with partners from the Telematics for Libraries programme and to find
out about key topics of interest to the cultural heritage community of
libraries,
archives and museums in the next programme.
"Consolidating the European Library Space" is an important concertation
meeting for Telematics for Libraries projects and will take place in
Luxembourg from 17th-19th November 1999. There is an exciting and
focused agenda with top speakers from the cultural heritage sector and
private enterprise.
There are keynote speeches on:
-key issues and achievements of the Telematics for Libraries Programme
-accessing the future : new media literacy in the Information Society
-the converging worlds of libraries, archives and museums
-new synergies between national and European library policies
-opportunities for co-operation with Central & Eastern Europe

Projects can find out how to produce better project exploitation plans or
learn the latest on key issues - copyright & licensing, e-commerce and
cultural heritage institutions, new ways of delivering education services,
interoperability & standards and digital preservation. There'll also be a
session on the current Call for Proposals "Digital Preservation of
Cultural Heritage", how best to promote a project Website and the
new project Website guidelines using metadata.
Projects will have the opportunity to demonstrate their project results -
