The advantages of being a second rather than a first mover are
apparent as the latest project of The European Library, TEL-ME-
MOR,comes to a successful conclusion.
The aim of TEL-ME-MOR was to bring the digital collections of 9
countries: the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia,
Lithuania, Malta, Poland and Slovakia into The European Library.
Two remarkable findings:
1. Not only did these New Member States of the EU have proportionally
more material digitised than other countries (earlier full
participants of The European Library) they were also able to bypass
the legacy non-web technologies of the early adopters.
2. TEL-ME-MOR produced several reports of continuing relevance to the
creation of a European digital library. One of these reports
underlined that there is no gap in knowledge and research between old
member states and new - the playing field is very equal.
