Title of Poster Session: BLE - BHL-Europe's virtual exhibition

Authors: Jiri Frank*, Jiri Kvacek**, Jana Hoffmann***

Abstract: The Biodiversity Library Exhibition (BLE) is a virtual exhibition of the digital content in the Biodiversity Heritage Library for Europe. It is a dissemination and e-learning tool which highlights specific biodiversity content and makes it accessible for a wider audience. The first two exhibitions will feature BHL-Europe's content on "spices" and "expeditions", presenting beautiful illustrations and informative text in old and rare books. It will also provide useful information for the visitor, e.g. recipes. The attractive design and easy to use interface of BLE has a great potential to show that historical literature on biodiversity can be interesting to a wide audience.
