Trends in university digital libraries

Abstract

University libraries are a key nucleus of efforts to implement innovative information technologies. In the last two decades many services have been created under the "digital library" umbrella. In this environment, the integration of tools such as digital repositories, discovery tools or e-book loan platforms converge with the principles of open access and open data. This is a situation in which the efficiency of integrating different systems and solutions prevails, as opposed to the traditional single systems that include a lot of functions.
