European Library
The European Library is an Internet service that allows access to the resources of 48 European national libraries and an increasing number of research libraries. Searching is free and delivers metadata records as well as digital objects (most for free, others at cost). The objects come from institutions located in countries which are members of the Council of Europe and range from catalogue records to full-text books, magazines, journals and audio recordings. Over 200 million records are searchable, including 24 million pages of full-text content and more than 7 million digital objects. Thirty five different languages are represented among the searchable objects.

Famous quotes containing the words european and/or library:
“Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“That a famous library has been cursed by a woman is a matter of complete indifference to a famous library.

Never will I wake these echoes, never will I ask for that hospitality again ...”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
