Hi all, We have in the past at Europeana harvested the metadata records from the eBooks on Demand project: http://www.europeana.eu/portal/search.html?query=*:*&qf=PROVIDER:Europea naConnect+-+EOD
The metadata is CC0 and the linked to PDFs are often explicitly Public Domain marked (and the rest seem to be de-facto public domain).
I don't think there's been an update from them in a while though. I'll check with some colleagues whether we can expect updates.
Cheers, David

Interesting! Is there any plan for what to do with the material once digitised - I see it's remaining in the catalogue, but will it also be sent out to (eg) the Internet Archive?

Hi!
The Royal Library in Copenhagen has started making free e-books on
demand
from Danish 1701-1900 books in their collections.
By doing this, they get more usage but less wear and tear and more
space
in
the reading room :-)
