Moldovans have free access to European libraries’ collections

The Moldovan people can access the collections of the national libraries of Europe from home or the workplace. This became possible after the launch of The European Library as a website. The National Library of Moldova also joined as a full participant of The European Library service based in The Hague, Info-Prim Neo reports. The European Library is an Internet service that offers access to the resources of 48 European national libraries. The 150 million resources, both digital and non-digital, include books, magazines, journals, audio recordings and other material in 32 languages. The volume of resources available is on the rise, the National Library of Moldova says in a communiqué. The collections of the European libraries are available from www.theeuropeanlibrary.org, while the National Library’s site (www.bnrm.md/memoria/) contains information in support of the beneficiaries of this service. The European Library portal was created in cooperation with 9 national libraries and CENL (Conference of European National Librarians) under TEL (The European Library: Gateway to Europe's Knowledge) project.
