LIBER: “Making the case for research libraries”
Largest network of European reseach libraries: 420 in over 40 countries
LIBER aims to represent the interests of European research libraries, their universities and their researchers. It promotes in particular-efficient information services -access to research information, in any form whatsoever -innovative end-user services for teaching, learning and research -preservation of cultural heritage-efficient and effective management of research libraries
Current EU Projects
Europeana Libraries-working to make 5 million digital objects from 19 leading European
research libraries freely accessible to researchers

Opportunities for Data Exchange (ODE)
Researchers, publishers, libraries and data centres
Identify, collate, interpret and deliver evidence of emerging best practices in sharing, re-using, preserving and citing data, the drivers for change and barriers impeding progress, in forms suited to each audience (led by CERN)
Opportunities for Data Exchange (ODE)
Identify "success stories", “near misses” and “honourable failures” in data sharing, re-use and preservation
Only 20% (Parse.Insight) of researchers submit data to digital archives
What are the barrier and incentives?
Report: Integration of Data & Publications
