Czech Republic

There at least 16 universities in the Czech Republic. There are 4 institutional repositories. The building of these repositories is still in its early stages.

Projects under the umbrella of deposit digital date include the Czech Digital Library. This is a new national plan to integrate different library repositories in the Czech Republic with repositories of other cultural heritage institutions. Large national projects in the area of digitization have been functioning for more than ten years, combined with other regional, subject- oriented, institutional, and other projects. These more or less isolated projects have produced millions of digitized pages accompanied by metadata. The project aims to bring closer cooperation and coordination of these initiatives (source: paper prepared for the conference Archiving 2006, Ottawa, Canada, May 24-26,, 2006 by Bohdana Stoklasová, National Library of the Czech Republic).
