New e-book deals between all danish publishers and the public libraries in Denmark



A PRESS RELEASE from eReolen.dk 

Negotiating on behalf of the Danish public libraries, Denmark’s Digital Library have finalised deals with the largest Danish publishers from the commercial e-book library lending platform, EBIB, to move the publishers’ titles from EBIB to the libraries’ platform eReolen - i.e. “the eShelf”. EBIB will then close its library business.

Consequently, starting January 2015, the e-books from publishers such as
Gyldendal, Rosinante & Co., Lindhardt & Ringhof, JP/Politiken and others. will be
showcased and promoted via eReolen’s web site and apps. The publishers and the
public libraries have already begun a collaboration designed to diversify the patrons’
usual frontloaded lending patterns and move focus away from the new releases and
more towards the backlists.

All Danish public libraries are expected to offer the new eReolen to their patrons.
The deals have been restricted to 2015 in order to closely evaluate and adjust the
new service. The current 5,000 titles on eReolen are expected to grow to over 9,000
with these new deals, approximately 80% of the Danish-language literature.

Chairman of the eReolen association, Jakob Heide Petersen, states: ”We are happy
with the new deals that strike a balance between the needs of the libraries and
those of the publishers. Our common interest is the promotion of literature and
reading. Now our patrons will have access to a lot more e-books from their library.
eReolen stands to gain both in terms of breadth and quality which we will aid us in
getting more people to start reading e-books. Our successful launch this summer of
an improved digital audio book service followed by a promotional campaign clearly
demonstrated that given the right content and the right technical solution, we can
bring literature to a lot more people. We are looking forward to cooperating with
authors and publishers and to promoting the new e-books alongside our other
services.”


Chairman of Danish Publishers’ Association and CEO of Gyldendal, Stig Anders,
states:”The libraries play an important role in stimulating reading and promoting
literature, and the publishers want to support the libraries as they strive to maintain
and develop this role while the general demand for e-books keep rising. E-books is a
growing market so we will closely monitor how loans and sales develop alongside
each other and make sure the commercial market and library services align
beneficially - both in terms of e-books and printed books.”

The development of ‘open library’ in Denmark #wlic2013

In occasion of my participation in the World Congress for Libraries IFLA, I have made ​​a presentation of the libraries in Denmark and especially the concept we call OPEN LIBRARIES. The theme of WLIC 2013 is "Future Libraries: Infinite Possibilities" and OPEN LIBRARIES is one of the possibilities. In Denmark, all the libraries is free to use, In the way, that all the basis services are free of charge for the public. In Denmark almost all the Libraries are funded by tax. The libraries are obligated to make all kinds of materials available, both physical and digital. Not just books. We have 98 municipalities and all of them are obligated, by legislation, to have a library and to finance it. Some of the municipalities have more than one library. We have approximately 450 public libraries, to a population of 5,5 mil. people.  Half of the libraries are closed in the last ten years, but the development has hopefully stopped now. It seems that development lead to fewer and few...

Hvad læser børn i en skole uden et bibliotek?

Mine største børn siger stadig at de går på skolebiblioteker, men jeg tvivler på at min den yngste på 4 kommer til at kende begrebet. I kølvandet på folkeskolereformen er skolebiblioteket nemlig blevet afskaffet eller i hvert fald erstattet af pædagogiske læringscentre . Hvad betyder det for skolen og elevernes kompetencer i forhold til traditionelle biblioteksdyder som litteratursøgning, kildekritik og læselyst, når man ændre fokus fra bibliotek til læringscenter. Det er tanker der er inspireret af at jeg er på vej til generalforsamling i Aarhus hos Kommunernes Skolebiblioteksforening eller de har naturligvis også skiftet navn til  Kommunernes Forening for Pædagogiske Læringscentre . En forening som vi I Danmarks Biblioteksforening har et godt og udbytterigt samarbejder med, hvilket vi desværre ikke har med den anden "skolebiblioteksforening" Pædagogisk LæringsCenterForening som har meddelt at de ikke længere ønsker at deltage i biblioteksparaplysamarbejdet da de ikke l...

Open libraries - without staff ............. all the time

Do you know this when you visit the library? The experience is no longer as common in Denmark North Beach: San Francisco Public Library   yesterday at 9:55 am When I as a Dane participant in such a big event like IFLA or the ALA Annual Meeting is one of the questions we often get; is it true that in Denmark the libraries are open without staff?  The answer I give is; no, we do not have libraries without staff, but we have libraries that are open even when the staff is not there. More than half of all public libraries in Denmark are now "open libraries" In Denmark, all the libraries is free to use, In the way, that all the basis services are free of charge for the public. In Denmark almost all the Libraries are funded by tax. The libraries are obligated to make all kinds of materials available, both physical and digital. Not just books.  See  New e-book deals between all danish publishers and the public libraries in Denmark We have 98 municip...
