Millions of rare books just a mouse click away
European libraries are hosting millions of rare books published
between 1500 and 1900. These books represent a universe of
knowledge: accounts of a journey to Africa from the 18th century,
science fiction novels from the late 19th century or old cooking
books – libraries own the historical knowledge of mankind.
But until now access to these books was, in most cases,
highly restricted and readers often had to travel to the library
in order to read the book.

Therefore only researchers and a small minority of ordinary
readers were actually able to use the rare book collections of
libraries.
With the eBooks on Demand (EOD) service this situation changes
dramatically. Millions of rare books are just a mouse click
away - for both researchers and any interested parties.
