Calling all librarians: You can change Europe’s copyright laws!

Until February 5th, everyone can share opinions on copyright with the European Commission through its Copyright Consultation and yes, your opinion counts. Anyone who works with researchers, or who cares about future library services and access to cultural heritage will be affected by the results of this consultation.

 Not convinced? Try answering the following questions: 

1. Would your library service be adversely affected if you had to request permission from the rights holder for every single hyperlink on your website?
2. Would you like to ensure that our born-digital cultural heritage is preserved and remains accessible for the future?
3. Would your researchers like to be able to borrow e-books (e.g. via inter-library loan) in the same manner that they can borrow analog books?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions then you should respond to the consultation.

Books go online for free in Norway

By Martin Chilton, Culture Editor online

National Library of Norway puts more than 135,000 copyright-protected books online for free – and pays authors and publishers

More than 135,000 books still in copyright are going online for free in Norway after an innovative scheme by the National Library ensured that publishers and authors are paid for the project.

The copyright-protected books (including translations of foreign books) have to be published before 2000 and the digitising has to be done with the consent of the copyright holders.

National Library of Norway chief Vigdis Moe Skarstein said the project is the first of its kind to offer free online access to books still under copyright, which in Norway expires 70 years after the author's death. Books by Stephen King, Ken Follett, John Steinbeck, Jo Nesbø, Karin Fossum and Nobel Laureate Knut Hamsun are among those in the scheme.

The National Library has signed an agreement with Kopinor, an umbrella group representing major authors and publishers through 22 member organisations, and for every digitised page that goes online, the library pays a predetermined sum to Kopinor, which will be responsible for distributing the royalties among its members. The per-page amount was 0.36 Norwegian kroner (four pence), which will decrease to three pence when the online collection reaches its estimated target of 250,000 books

The books are available in Norway at the site bokhylla.no ("bookshelf" in Norwegian) but access is limited to internet users in Norway (and foreign researchers) and the books cannot be downloaded. Some authors or publishing firms have objected but only 3,500 books have been removed from the list and most of these have been school textbooks.

The good news is that so far sales in bookshops do not appear to have been affected by the project. Instead, Bokhylla often gives a second life to works that are still under copyright but sold out at bookshops, said Moe Skarstein. "Books are increasingly becoming perishable goods," she told AFP reporter Pierre-Henry Deshayes, "when the novelty effect fades out, they sink into oblivion. Many national libraries digitise their collections for conservation reasons or even to grant access to them, but those are (older) books that are already in the public domain. We thought that, since we had to digitise all our collection in order to preserve it for the next 1,000 years, it was also important to broaden access to it as much as possible."

Yngve Slettholm, head of Kopinor, said: "A bestseller is treated on an equal footing with a regional almanac from the Thirties. Instead of spending our money on trying to find the copyright holders, we prefer to give it to them."

More than 115,000 books from the Norwegian collection have already been read online. Attempts at free digital libraries in other European countries have often stalled over complex copyright discussions

5 Bright Ideas for the Libraries of the Future

Libraries must innovate before they lose a generation of digital natives.
by JIMMY DALY

Public libraries are facing a tough challenge right now. People read fewer physical books — long the staple of libraries — but they still rely on the library for information. Paul Vogel, president of digital solutions for the United States Postal Service, recently said that the USPS is in the message business, not the mail business. Following that train of thought, libraries are in the information business, not the book business. Citizens have always gone to libraries for information, and, historically, information has come from books. But that process is changing, and to keep up, libraries will need to supply information in different formats and on different platforms to make it accessible to their users.

Of course, it’s not just about turning print books into digital content. People need to be able to search for resources from mobile devices and from locations other than a library. Luckily, the costs of the technology that could power such services are coming down; but if libraries don’t act quickly, they could lose a generation of digital natives that expect information to be accessible when and where they want it.

Pew Internet recently published Library Services in the Digital Age, a survey in which participants were asked what they wanted to see in the libraries of the future. Here are a few of the ideas that people responded to positively: 

• Apps-based access to library materials and programs: 35 percent of Americans ages 16 and older would “very likely” use that service, and another 28 percent say they would be “somewhat likely” to do so.
• Access to technology “petting zoos” to try out new devices: 35 percent of Americans ages 16 and older would “very likely” use that service, and another 34 percent say they would be “somewhat likely” to do so.
• GPS-navigation apps to help patrons locate material inside library buildings: 34 percent of Americans ages 16 and older would “very likely” use that service, and another 28 percent say they would be “somewhat likely” to do so.
• “Redbox”-style lending machines or kiosks located throughout the community, where people can check out books, movies or music without having to go to the library itself: 33 percent of Americans ages 16 and older would “very likely” use that service, and another 30 percent say they would be “somewhat likely” to do so.
• “Amazon”-style customized book/audio/video recommendation schemes that are based on patrons’ prior library behavior: 29 percent of Americans ages 16 and older would “very likely” use that service, and another 35 percent say they would be “somewhat likely” to do so.
