Libraries
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport whether he has considered the merits of establishing a national digital library service.
- Answer
-
We have no plans at present to establish a national digital library service. However, local authorities continue to provide remote access for their users to catalogues, e-books and online reference resources and the UK remains a partner in Europeana—the European Digital Library network which provides access, through its website, to objects from cultural institutions within the European Union.
