” Books are best on the Web ”
Malaga, 27.mai 2011 - VMS
• “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
