2ND EUROPEAN LIBRARY SEMINAR/ 3RD GABRIEL WORKSHOP, 4-6 JUNE 2003 AT THE BIBLIOTECA NACIONAL IN LISBON

摘要

From 4-6 June 2003 the 2nd European Library Seminar/3rd Gabriel Workshop was held at the Biblioteca National in Lisbon, Portugal. A total of 62 librarians and Webmasters from 20 countries participated in the workshop, mainly Gabriel contacts but also quite a number of librarians from Portugal. Since its foundation in 1995 Gabriel, the World Wide Web service of the European national libraries, has established itself as the official network service of the Conference of European National Librarians (CENL) and has undergone a continuous development. The Gabriel Web site has been redesigned and restructured, and it was relaunched in summer 2002. At present, 41 libraries from 39 European countries are represented in Gabriel. Gabriel offers access to varied information sources and numerous online-catalogues and services of the European national libraries. Gabriel is the only trans-European library service.
