1. The document discusses the opportunities and challenges of a proposed public-private e-book platform in Flanders that would provide centralized long-term storage and facilitate exploitation of digital books. 2. It notes the importance of reading and libraries for education and culture, and argues that a government initiative is needed to ensure all players have access to content as the publishing industry shifts digital. 3. The proposed platform would leverage existing library collections and services, providing broad access to digital content through a collaborative model involving publishers, distributors, and other stakeholders.

Editor's Notes
- #19 Het is ons niet te doen om het instituut Openbare bibliotheek kost wat kost te behouden en een betekenis te geven. Het is ons erom te doen dat de doelstelling van het instituut absoluut relevant blijft en(of maar) de invulling moet herdacht worden. De bibliotheek moet zichzelf opnieuw heruitvinden. Moest de openbare bibliotheek niet bestaan, zou ze moeten uitgevonden worden, ook nu nog. Andere elementen uit de IFLA statement: Libraries have a responsibility both to guarantee and to facilitate access to expressions of knowledge and intellectual activity. To this end, libraries shall acquire, preserve and make available the widest variety of materials, reflecting the plurality and diversity of society . Libraries shall ensure that the selection and availability of library materials and services is governed by professional considerations and not by political, moral and religious views. Libraries shall acquire, organize and disseminate information freely and oppose any form of censorship. Libraries shall make materials, facilities and services equally accessible to all users. There shall be no discrimination due to race, creed, gender, age or for any other reason. In tegenstelling tot boekhandel is de bibliotheek al decennialang multi-mediaal. Dit is een sterkte die verder moet geëxploiteerd worden. Wellicht wordt de boekhandel ook meer en en meer een ‘content’-handel.
