Impact on KB
* Change of focus: from a hard-copy academic librarywith a focus on the Netherlands to a Digital National Library with a focus on researchers in ten years
* We are playing a different ball-game: we plan to digitize 8 million pages this year. At such a scaleyou need a very professional organization, becausemistakes have a great impact
Paper and Beyond 30-1-2012
Impact on front-office
* Change of focus from visitors onsite to visitorsonline
* Time spent on copyright issues and digital rightsmanagement has grown significantly
* Patron-driven acquisition means we collect referenceworks for use not for preservation
* Increased focus on value and efficiency

Impact on services
We see services as the place where our data meetspeoples needs
* Not necessarily KB-services anymore
* Not necessarily webservices anymore (otherplatforms)
* Sharing data with third parties to be part of the network that comprises the information landscape for users

Impact on servicesWe see services as the place where our data meets
peoples needs
* Not necessarily webservices anymore (apps)
Paper and Beyond 30-1-2012
We aim to open up our unmediated data to third parties (Europeana, The EuropeanLibrary, researchinfrastructures)
We aim to open up ourmediated data* to thirdparties (for instancethrough widgets)
Mediated data = context
All data that have requiredhuman effort to make: selections (exhibitions, thematic selections) & edited content (articles)
Paper and Beyond 30-1-2012
Increased focus on value
Value of services in relation to:
- Demand (Who’ll be happy if we do this?)
- Strategy (How does it fit in with our general policy)
- Cost-effectiveness (is the result worth the money)
Paper and Beyond 30-1-2012
Increased focus on efficiency
* Not a new website for every dataset, but a cleardistinction between components:
Dataset + application + look & feel = service
* A yearly evaluation of all services
Paper and Beyond 30-1-2012
Main goals
* Creating a national platform for full-text discovery of Dutch books and periodicals (Searching in publications, full-text)
* Letting users search for everything we can giveaccess to (searching for publications, metadata)
* Giving context and visibility to our collectionsthrough mediated content (specialized services, exhibitions, social networks)

A Library = a library = a library?
Similarity in form does not mean similarity in function:
• Public libraries: focus on community value
• Research libaries: focus on supporting research
• Business libaries: focus on supporting business
• National libraries: focus on archiving national heritage
Paper and Beyond 30-1-2012
A book = a book = a book?
Similarity in form does not mean similarity in function:
• Reference works
• Fiction
• Picturebooks (cookery books)
- For most types of research hard copy books will become obsolete
- For reading it depends on usability of devices

Gartner’s Hype Cycle
Paper and Beyond 30-1-2012
Knowledge is key to the future
* Know what makes you unique
* Stay curious about what’s happening around you
* Combine these two to find your best road ahead
* Once you’ve chosen it, don’t choose another too soon
* It’s not about the technology but about the value for your users
* Don’t try to predict the future, but make sure you can adapt to it.
