eBooks on Demand (EOD)
From the web site:

This is the vision of the eBooks on Demand (EOD) project.

European libraries are hosting millions of books published from 1500 to 1900. Due to their age and value, they are often only accessible to users actually present at these libraries.

With the EOD service these hidden treasures will now become available to everybody - just a few mouse clicks away. Users will be able to order eBooks via the common library catalogues; the libraries will then digitise the requested item and send it to the user via the EOD service network. The books digitised in this way will simultaneously be incorporated into the digital libraries of the participating libraries and thus be accessible on the Internet. This project, co-funded by the EU, comprises 13 European libraries from 8 countries!
