National Libraries, as their library systems’ heads, perform several tasks which are depicted, to some extent, through their websites. Besides, a major group of theses national libraries also use interlinking systems from the Web 2. 0, taking part in social networks. Web links targeting other websites show some kind of relationship, and this also occurs in the social networks with followings, subscriptions and similar. In this way, studying these elements should help us to discover structures and areas of cooperation among them. In this paper, European Union national libraries’ webpages are analyzed, as well as their activity in Twitter. In general, a low level of interaction between them can be appreciated. However, a central core of national libraries can be depicted, with stable relationships and collaborative networks among them. Also, a group of outlier libraries can be clearly seen, with very weak interaction with that core.
