Feedback from Bookshelf users 2009 Nobody wants to sit in a Flash player and pretend to turn the pages of a book Is this what you call digitization..., how do I perform a free text search in a book? All you have done is photograph the pages in each book! Ridiculous. Have you not heard of OCR? Thank you for this fantastic opportunity to read books digitally at nb.no. This has been of immeasurable help in prepping for my exams! "…I think your Bookshelf offering is a commendable project which has been of great use and a source of great pleasure. You are making Norwegians a wiser people."

Feedback from Bookshelf users 2010 … after page 1119 there is a repeat of pp , which means pp are missing Help! The book I was reading this morning is gone and my exams are on Monday! In library catalogs you search for title and subject, whereas the Bookshelf full text search lets you search in the text of the book – every single word. Services such as bokhylla.no are revolutionary because we can have thousands of older books and millions of pages that can be read by machines in a fraction of a second. Arne Solli, HI, UiB

Feedback from Bookshelf users 2011 During the years I had three novels for children and young people published by Cappelen:... The first two can be found as digital copies in Bokhylla with other things I have written, but the third one is not there. I am not saying that this is great and deeply missed literature, but it is perhaps not any worse that the two from 1990 and And so I wonder if it could be included, and if not, why it wont happen.

Feedback from Bookshelf users 2011 Hi! First – thanks for what you are putting on the Net. It is so great! When I discovered \"Norske Gardsbruk\", I was extra happy and right away I sendt the address to other genealogists in Norway and abroad, especially in the US in a closed group we are using At first it was met with overwhelmingly positive reactions, especially because these books contain valuable information. But to their great disappointment Norwegians abroad and Norwegian Americans found they had no access. Is there a chance that the NB could make an exception here? Sincerely

Legal framework The Copyright Act of 1961 & its amendments allow The National Library to digitise all published material for long term preservation The Bookshelf contract is based on the framework of Extended Collective Licensing LIBER Tartu 27.juni 2012

Costs and compensation Foto: NA24 Annual compensation of NOK 0.56 ( 0.06) per page made accessible on the internet Compensation and digitisation costs are funded by the National Library LIBER Tartu 27.juni 2012

Extended Collective License Kopinor represents all rightholders: Foreign rightholders Orphan works All media and formats Potential rightholders Kopinor distributes the compensation to authors (i.e. through grants)

European consideration vs the nordic ECL Orphan works: Time and resource consuming diligent search vs collective remuneration for use Out of distribution works: Similar approach in the two models LIBER Tartu 27.juni 2012

LIBER Tartu 27.juni 2012 Norwegian approach to PPP Whitepaper on digitization The National Library is expected to work further with agreements about the storage of digital resources from publishers, newspapers and more.

Private, Public Partnership Norwegian model is based on bi-latteral and co-latteral agreements on joint operations and cost sharing between The National Library and publishers (right-holders), which…. creates additional opportunities and eliminates the need for restricted preferential use LIBER Tartu 27.juni 2012

Agreements under the PPP Umbrella - Strategic Partners Broadcasting (Norwegian Broadcasting Company) Newspapers (National, regional and local) Books (in progress) LIBER Tartu 27.juni 2012
