” Books are best on the Web ”


• “Services like the Digital Bookshelf are revolutionary because we

can have thousands of old books and millions of pages read by a

machine in a split second.

• Searches in Library catalogues search title and topic, whereas a

full text search in the Digital Bookshelf searches the text itself,

every word of it.”

European consideration vs the nordic ECL

Orphan works:• Time and resource consuming diligent

search vs collective remuneration for use

Out of distribution works:• Similar approach in the two models


Public Private Partnership

• Congruence between the CdS model and the Norwegian, but….

• Norwegian model is based on bi-latteral and co-latteral agreements on joint operations and cost sharing between The National Library and publishers (right-holders),

which….

• creates additional opportunities and eliminates the need for restricted preferential use



Norwegian approach to PPP

Whitepaper on digitization

“The National Library is expected to work further with agreements about the storage of

digital resources from publishers, newspapers and more.”

Agreements under the PPP Umbrella -Strategic Partners

• Broadcasting (Norwegian Broadcasting Company)

• Newspapers (National, regional and local)• Books (in progress)
