• We may not index the right information

• Few people know of the resources’ existence

• Historical data ≠ contemporary data

• Engagement will not come naturally

The role of the (public) library

• Seemed to diminish…until ‘Wet stelsel openbare bibliotheekvoorzieningen’ law in 2015

• Emphasis on societal roles

• One network in three layers (national, province, local)

• National Library of The Netherlands as overall coordinator

Also responsible for national digital library

The role of the (public) library

Offer access to knowledge and

opportunities for development &

education

Main themes

Knowledge Access and Discovery: How can future libraries facilitate more serendipitous and adventurous exploration of physical and digital collections?

Libraries for Individuals and Communities: How can future libraries better serve the needs of their users, and of society at large?

Diversity and Inclusion in Future Libraries: How can future libraries support and facilitate a just and inclusive society?

Pluriform and inclusive

library collections

• National Science Agenda call, Oct 2020 – Sep 2021

• ‘Pluriformity’, ‘polyvocality’, ‘bias’…how to operationalize this in technical frameworks?

Qualitative: workshops with stakeholders

Quantitative: first large-scale analysis into loan patterns across the country

Inclusive: expo in local libraries as discussion starter

Recommender requirements for pluriform

perspectives in local public libraries

(36)

Experience so far

Workshops are very much needed

Diversity and inclusion initially perceived as ‘too grand challenges’

Policy tends not to be set by those ‘at the desks’

Communication to & involvement needed of these parties Better understanding of ‘unseen’ users needed

Gosford Library circulation desk, December 1951

From publish/consume to read/write digital libraries

• Music collections are not static objects; they are interacted with.

• These interactions are of scholarly value.

• User-controlled personal online datastores (Solid pods)

• Decentralized file storage

• Publication and aggregation into digital library collections

Open access and accessible science

I see some great efforts happening.

• Strongly championed by the next generations of researchers (e.g. PhDs), ‘established’ parties still somewhat hesitant.

• Taverne pilot: https://www.openaccess.nl/en/in-the- netherlands/you-share-we-take-care

• Recognition & Rewards:

• TU Delft Strategic Plan Open Science 2020-2024

• The Evolving Scholar: https://journals.open.tudelft.nl/thes

• Open Science community: https://osc-delft.github.io/

• Again, mostly carried by young researchers, sometimes

‘underground’. Encourage tenured staff to visibly champion.
