Comments Geir Pedersen Hellwig on eBokBib Ingrid on Kibano - the new Norwegian ebokleseplaten cara mengecilkan perut Bjørn K. Fuller on All we need is 400 million per year Bjørn K.

The last ten years have ebokutviklingen slowly evolved into a large and relevant topic. The only thing that has remained constant in this development is that libraries have been sitting in the back seat. We have been at the mercy of publishers rather variable benevolence and partly strange antics. We have seen most clearly in the United States where the last outcome is the publisher HarperCollins its desire to limit the dissemination of library ebooks cara mengecilkan perut to 26 times before the new copy must be purchased.
We also see it on fagbibliotekfronten where prices of journals has increased while publishers pushing libraries to buy large packages of magazines variable interest in the institution. This happens in a situation where universities' finances cara mengecilkan perut are under pressure.
This is not a problem library people can solve individually. Even the National cara mengecilkan perut Library will manage to find a simple solution to the publishers' fear of lost sales due to library lending, the desire for powerful DRM, obsolete structures in the book industry etc.
On BetaUB Ole Husby has written something about academic library situation, the way to go about Open Access, and that this must be done in collaboration with researchers. Academic libraries have thus a Plan B. It remains a tremendous amount of work. There are certainly committed many errors and corrections to this process, but specialist libraries have at least a reasonably good Plan B.
For public libraries does not have a Plan B yet. We have not sat down and analyzed the situation and looked at the challenges. We have a highly variable group of publishers to deal with. From "The Big Three", Gyldendal, Aschehoug, Cappelen Damm, to the many small and the keg; Piratforlaget etc. in the lead, common to all is that they are more or less skeptical that the library should provide eBooks.
For libraries, the case is twofold. On the one hand we want ebooks to those of our members who are interested, on the other hand, copyright protection regime Norwegian cara mengecilkan perut publishers have created, and that Biblioteksentralen continues through BSweblån, not particularly easy would convey through books. Having guided uptake people who were all positive, technological reasonably talented and eager to try out ebooks through cara mengecilkan perut a frustrating registration and download cara mengecilkan perut process, I am far more skeptical about how ebooks cara mengecilkan perut will be welcomed by Norwegian readers.
On the other hand, I am impressed by the Norwegian book reader audience's robust ability to cope with technological barriers. It is reported that 20,000 ebooks were purchased in 2011. There are a surprising number and a good indication that it is a pretty big interest in eBooks in Norwegian in Norway.
What about libraries created their own solution without cara mengecilkan perut numerous registrations and logins? With content libraries even cured and preserved for posterity. How about a solution where the books were free and available without copyright protection and barriers? What if libraries went from artificial limitations to what we really are, that, communication and organization?
I think it's time to look at the possibilities instead of limitations. Norwegian public libraries today has all it takes to establish a credible and technically astute alternative to the commercial cara mengecilkan perut ebokløsningen Norwegian readers today have to deal with.
There is some modest experiments showing that the core of expertise cara mengecilkan perut and will exist, something within the library sector, cara mengecilkan perut eg. bokhylla.no and something a little outside the library sector bokselskap.no. Both carry the seeds of what I think must be library sector's own initiative. We simply have to build up a common database containing good quality that is technically easy to provide and satisfy all requests for metadata and new standards, and facilitates easy and frustrasjonsfri reading. We need an "Open Access" project for public libraries.
Ideally, I'd probably wish that the National Library took hold of this and relieved us of the responsibility, but in reality I think it is both more realistic and perhaps best of all Norwegian public libraries took the matter into their own hands. cara mengecilkan perut The challenge is therefore to County Library Director College, Drammen, Deichman, Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim and Tromsø. Time to work on a project that will raise and engage all Norwegian public libraries.
The content is what everybody's duty to do something. All library sits on small local collections and material either in the public domain or that it is possible to obtain permission to digitize from the licensee clean. If all Norwegian public libraries digitized ET every document, it would already be several cara mengecilkan perut eBooks
