Particularly in modern university libraries
there is a strong trend toward digitalization.
Already in 2010 the German Library Statistical
Survey calculated that university libraries
were then spending about one-third of
their budgets for electronic media. Taking
both university and polytechnical libraries
into account, the acquisition expenditures
increased from about 230 million Euros in
2000 to about 264 million Euros in 2014. This
represents an increase of about 13 percent
over 14 years.
In the same time period the proportion of
expenditures for electronic media within acquisitions
budgets exploded, from about 12
million Euros in 2000 to 116 million in 2014,
i.e. quadrupled in those same 14 year S. This
trend has meant stronger changes within libraries
that it may appear at first glance. In
light of the opportunity to access digital media
remotely – not only within a library‘s buildings
– and regardless of opening hours, university
libraries are taking a new look at the
role of the library as location. Digital content
is available round the clock, 7 days a week. In
the physical world this can only be an option
for a very few libraries.
The significance of digital content has
also increased dramatically in public libraries,
despite problems, such as enabling access
to eBook S. To deal with such issues, cooperation
and networking with other educational
and cultural institutions is playing an
ever greater role.
