The topic of this press release, issued in an English version today,
24 May, should, I assume, be relevant to the interests of many
library educators, certainly in these times. ( The original version
appeared last Wednesday ; I sent a brief note to this list concerning
it, but my note was, for reasons quite opaque to me, not posted.* ) :

The "Overview of projects approved in 2010-11" linked at the
the end of the press release, at any rate, is only in German -- and
quite worth a look, I'd say.
