			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Royal Library (<a href="http://kb.nl">KB</a>), the national library of The Netherlands, <a href="http://www.nrc.nl/kunst/article2455961.ece/KB_scant_alle_Nederlandse_publicaties">plans to digitize all Dutch publications since 1470</a>. You could easily say what took them so long, but in this case I&#8217;d say rather late than never. Good plan!</p>
<p>From their policy for the next 3 years:</p>
<blockquote><p>1. We offer everyone access to everything published in and about the Netherlands.<br />
2.We improve the national information infrastructure.<br />
3. We guarantee long-term storage of digital information.<br />
[...] (<a href="http://www.kb.nl/bst/beleid/bp/2010/index-en.html">source</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p>This includes all digital publications.</p>
<p>From the <a href="http://expo.kb.nl/blader/beleidsplan-2010-2013-en/pageflip.html">full document</a> I can conclude that digital access to information on scientific publications is one of their focuses. As someone who is outside the academic system, yet craving for proper remote access, I can only applaud this.</p>
