diglib: Fwd: [IFLA-L] EU: Commission unveils plans for European digital libraries

[Carol Hixson <chixson@darkwing.uoregon.edu>]

Interesting effort. Ironically, when I talk with Europeans
they tell me that they feel European efforts are very
fragmented and that we in the U.S, are much better
coordinated. I have the opposite impression. I wonder
what the reality is? That none of us are organized?
