Sažetak
The European Library (TEL) and Europeana Foundation initiated the Collections of South and east Europe (CSEEE) project with the purpose of supporting the provision of digital collections from national libraries in countries that are not members of the European Union and that have little or no presence in Europeana. The paper describes the CSEEE project and the cooperation started by national libraries in South and East Europe in order to make their digital collections available for wider use and reuse via the Europeana website and elsewhere online. An important highlight of the project was the initiative of engaging of users and for this an exhibition of postcards and a contest was organized with the aim of inviting users to submit their own photographs of the places displayed in the exhibition. By taking part in the project, the partner libraries were able to cooperate closely in order to develop new skills and overcome obstacles. A short questionnaire was sent out to the partner libraries to understand how the collaboration and participation in this project influenced their work and overall the related activities at the library and what was or still is the motivation for working with Europeana.
