Danish library strategies

DEFF (Denmark's Electronic Research Library) has released a discussion paper that I would characterize as "possible roles for the (digital) library)".

Discussion Paper about Library Development in Denmark

It's a 16 page PDF (in English).  Lots of good background and interesting ideas.

via the DEFF RSS feed which is on their site somewhere

I also noted recently the release of what my mangle-Danish-into-English translation makes out as "new plan for bibliotek.dk"

Nye planer for Bibliotek.dk

It appears to be a fairly detailed technical plan, absolutely none of which I can understand other than by using my aforementioned "that word looks similar to an English or French word" translation approach.

Clearly, the solution is to send me to Denmark immediately.

On which note, Danish library/technology people, feel free to contact me.  I actually sent two emails a while ago but they seem to have gone unanswered.  I want to discuss more about Danish library Web Services.

UPDATE 2007-02-06: My Flickr photos tagged Denmark from when I was at InfoGrid 2005 and Euro Fedora 2005.

Hi - I'm not part of the bibliotek.dk project (I'm head of the digital department at a public library near Copenhagen), but I might be able to provide some info regardless. The digital services are a hot topic presently round these parts :)
