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.”

Oversigt viser årelang nedbarbering af bibliotekerne - lad det være et wake-up call

"Oversigt viser årelang nedbarbering af bibliotekerne – »grænsen er nok nået« ifølge interesseorganisation" er overskriften på en artikel i Kulturmonitor i dag. Og denne milde underdrivelse om at grænsen nok er nået stammer fra mig og Danmarks Biblioteksforening. Den kunne også have været børn der ikke har adgang til bøger bliver dårligere til at læse. Baggrunden for artiklen er en opgørelse som kulturministeriet har lavet til SF’s socialordfører, Theresa Berg-Andersen. Her har ministeren opgjort antallet af for biblioteker fra 2006 og frem til i dag og gjort det klart, at antallet af danske biblioteker er faldet drastisk gennem de sidste 17 år. Opgørelsen viser at at antallet af biblioteksfilialer, er faldet fra 420 (2006) til 310 (2022) altså en en lukning af 1/4 af bibliotekerne. Havde de dykket lidt længere tilbage end til kommunalreformen kunne de se at antallet er halveret siden 1996 hvor der var 900 betjeningssteder. Stof til politisk eftertanke I Kulturmonitor siger

Fremtidens fysiske bibliotek i Slagelse

Idé I mange år havde Slagelse Centralbibliotek ønsket en udbygning. I 2000 blev arkitekt Claus Bjarrum derfor inviteret til at fortælle om biblioteksbyggeri. Han sagde de magiske ord: I har masser af plads, I bruger den bare forkert! Det blev et af udgangspunkterne da projekt Fremtidens fysiske bibliotek tog sin begyndelse. Biblioteket havde også i nogle år haft en række organisatoriske udfordringer. Derfor valgte man at kæde de to ting sammen. Lundgaard konsulenterne blev koblet på en organisationsudvikling, samtidig med at en arkitekt fra Claus Bjarrum A/S fulgte processen. Den ny organisationsplan byggede på fire dimensioner: Kultur, Viden og Information, Børn samt en social dimension. Denne organisation har vi løbende udfoldet, men det er en ganske anden historie. Med udgangspunkt i disse dimensioner tegnede arkitekten tre skitser til et nyt bibliotek i de eksisterende bygninger. Et entusiastisk kulturudvalg traf den endelige beslutning om at iværksætte skitse 1 til godt 10 mio. kr

Der er brug for bibliotekerne som aldrig før også for Vanopslagh

Hen over sommeren har der været en del debat om biblioteket, som opstod i kølvandet på at formanden for Liberal Alliances Alex Vanopslagh i sin bog ’Vejen til ansvar’ forslår at lukke bibliotekerne. Debatten koger stadig og i dag tager vi en tur i et par radiokanaler, hvor Radio4 sætter emnet til debat kl. 9.00-10.00 og Paw Østergaard Jensen, formand for Danmarks Biblioteksforening spiller ud i Radio4 kl. 09.35 i en snak om, hvorfor det er der er behov for bibliotekerne som ingensinde før og det er da også landets mest besøgte kulturinstitution. P1 Debat forsætter Kl 12.15 -13.30 (denne er udsat til senere på ugen) hvor spørgsmålene igennem debatten bliver: ’Luk folkebibliotekerne? Kan og bør private erstatte dem? Vil det sætte viden, dannelse og lokalsamfund og sammenhængskraft over styr, hvis man lukker? Er bogen død? Er det bibliotekernes rolle at holde diverse arrangementer? Og er systemet indrettet rigtigt i kommunalt regi?’ Panelet er: Jens Kristian Lütken (V) KBH, Simon Fe
