  3. The mission remains the same: Research libraries must preserve research

    output and provide access to it. https://secure.flickr.com/photos/nostri-imago/3137422976/ – CC-BY by flickr user nostri-imago
  4. Libraries should become major publishers (again) and the drivers of

  5. Help scientific communites to flip their journals to open access

  9. It is unquestionable that there is a strong and growing

    dependency of research on software. https://unsplash.com/@toddquackenbush?photo=IClZBVw5W5A - PD
  10. Software is also a result of scientific work. Quality, accessibility,

    citability, etc. have to be ensured. https://unsplash.com/@toddquackenbush?photo=IClZBVw5W5A - PD
  11. Ultimate access creates new problems: Increased effort to find and

    process information. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wheatfields/3921008904/ – CC-BY by flick user wheatfields
  12. And yes - compete with Google and build better, open

    discovery services. Together we can be strong. See Peter Kraker’s #DontLeaveItToGoogle initiative. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wheatfields/3921008904/ – CC-BY by flick user wheatfields
  13. Libraries must train the skills and build tools to find,

    connect and integrate, literature, information and data to create new knowledge. https://www.flickr.com/photos/capcase/4970062156/ – CC-BY by flickr user capcase

  15. Formal education is helpful but only one part of the

    solution. Be brave, connect, learn continously, practice, play with technology. https://www.everystockphoto.com/photo.php?imageId=2381033 – The Library of Congress
