Abstract

The Technical Knowledge Center and Library of Denmark (DTV) has broken the vicious circle of zero growth funding, price increases, and journal cancellations. It required concentrated efforts in consortia building, electronic licensing, phasing out paper editions, staff reductions, as well as investments in staff education and development of integrated electronic services. Now the users at the Technical University of Denmark have easier access to much more content for the same funding. The developments have given rise to new forms of co-operation with publishers and other libraries in the region. This paper outlines the re-engineering plan and highlights effects on services and staff. The DTV approach to re-engineering has attracted considerable international attention (Butler 1999).
