Maybe I could work for them one day?

Hungary is the firmest on complete coverage of anything and everything published that is in Hungarian, has to do with Hungary, or is by a Hungarian, or by someone of Hungarian nationality must be included in their national library.

The main issue for national digital libraries now is do you collect all of th nation's digital output for the record?

A good example now is that Britain has to store Sarah Brown's Twitter feed as it is a matter of public record.

Countries liek Greece must be facing a huge issue with the relavancy and accessibility of their information.  You can't really ge tto anything if it hasn't been translated, and if it is new information can it be translated quickly enouh to keep it relevant?  Must get up to speed on this and how Greece is managing this issue.
