Abstract

Discusses issues relating to the access and preservation of electronic publications with special reference to the German National Library, Die Deutsche Bibliothek (DDB) which has designed its technological infrastructure specifically to meet the requirements of future networking. Considers the factors which must be taken into consideration in order for DDB to fulfil its responsibilities as an electronic library, including ensuring the long term availability of electronic publications; and establishing precise bibliographic search terms to make controlled access possible. Discusses the tasks and responsibilities of librarians in the new world of digital information and the importance of training and education of librarians. Libraries will remain indispensable for society only as long as they possess both a powerful information infrastructure and a well qualified and highly motivated staff

Abstract

Reports the involvement of the Conference of European National Librarians (CENL), and its responsibility both to preserve and to provide access to books and information in an increasingly electronic world. Describes the 2 European Commission programmes, managed by a Forum of 8 national libraries, to serve these ends: CoBRA (Computer and Bibliographic Record Actions), which established 4 task groups to study: improved European bibliographic services; user needs for bibliographic products; networked record distribution and reuse; and promotion of data sharing; and a new programme called CoBRA PLus to continue the work of CoBRA and widen its focus to include collection based services, with emphasis on resource sharing, user needs and the use of communication networks. Notes the 2 main task groups, concerned with: metadata and bibliographic access, and electronic publications and digital resources, including legal deposit and storage. Notes briefly the 8 specific projects ranging from networking name authority files to the development of a new relationship between publishers and national bibliographic agencies for the control of electronic publications
