Abstract

We are confronted by a great challenge, the role of the book and the digital era. Initially, every change scares us. We have to act with intelligence and creativity so that the scientific progress allows us to move towards a better quality of life. A great virtual library is a good goal, since it is not proposing to burn books, but to make them available to more individual anytime and across the large population of Brazil, as well as global access. To conclude, there are the three important items: the need of a digital database as a comprehensive and standard repository of the academic book. Then there is the maintenance and respect for the preservation of the copyright, in print and in the future for digital books. And, finally, there is subject of the editor’s social responsibility to improve the quality of life. In Brazil, what really is necessary is not only a virtual library, but an increasing number of readers.
