Berndt Dugall, Direktor der Universitätsbibliothek Johann Christian Senckenberg - Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, im Interview

In this interview, Berndt Dugall describes the changes in his professional life lasting nearly forty years. The transition from printed to electronic media has deeply changed role and function of libraries. Today's libraries have to offer their services in a completely changed environment. Competing with global enterprises, like Google and Amazon, libraries all over the world have to become a more consistent network, especially with regard to the international standards of their cataloguing rules. If libraries want to remain a key service provider, they have to react more quickly to changes and to find solutions, which are less perfect.
