The purpose of (CERL ( The Consortium of European Research Libraries ) is "to share resources and expertise between research libraries with a view to improving access to, as well as exploitation and preservation of, the European printed heritage.  The organisation's primary objective is to record all books printed in Europe during the hand-press period, i.e. before c.1830, in a machine-readable database."  The Hand Press Book database or HPB database is a result of this project.  This database can be searched on RLIN (sel fil hpb)

A very helpful article by Anke Baumgartner explores European Document Delivery Suppliers and Resources on the World Wide Web.  This was published in December, 2000 as an article on LLRX.com.  It concentrates primarily on German, Swiss, Dutch, French and Spanish suppliers on the web.
