Danish Libraries between ‘Wende’ and ‘Zeitenwende’

Abstract During the last 30 years great changes have taken place in the Danish library sector. Two trends are notable: the degree of digitization and the reduction in the number of library organizations and the subsequent organization of shared solutions. None of these changes are directly related to the far-reaching political changes signified by the terms ‘Wende’ and ‘Zeitenwende’. The article points to other factors behind Danish library development: digitization and in the final analysis: globalization.
