 This project, started in September 2006 and completed in February 2008, worked towards the integration of the bibliographic catalogues and digital collections of the National Libraries of Belgium, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain and Sweden, into The European Library.

EDLproject also addressed the enhancement of multilingual capabilities of The European Library portal, took first steps towards collaboration between The European Library and other non-library cultural initiatives, and expanded the marketing and communication activities of The European Library service.

Some comments by a user: 

• It is almost no cost to keep a book in digital format.
• EU Digital Library keeps all books in the world in digital format. Free for the people of the world. Everubody on earth can access to it.
• EU Pays intellectual property rights license fee to the authors, as per page read of any book ( It is very easy to follow this ) If a book is read by many then author gets lots of money. If not read no money . Fair.
• All financing of the EU Digital Library is provided by the advertisement EU Digital Library gets from commercial people.( Just like Google )
• This is a revolution. God help you.
