British Library acknowledges digitization
Lynne Bryndley, Chief Executive at the British Library, expresses an embracing approach to digitization in regards to the Library's three-year strategy, unveiled 29/6 2005:"Most people are aware that a national switch to digital broadcasting is expected by the end of this decade. Less well known is the fact that a similar trend is underway in the world of publishing: a study by EPS , commissioned by the Library, projects that, by the year 2020, 40% of UK research monographs will be available in electronic format only, while a further 50% will be produced in both print and digital. A mere 10% of new titles will be available in print alone by 2020."[Quote from the press release. See also Redefining the Library: the British Library's strategy 2005-2008 as pdf.]
