Vision

Vision

The BnL on the path of transformation is a project that encompasses our services, our resources and our collections. Clearly, for us transformation also means the process of digitisation and automation that we undertook several years ago and which we continue to pursue boldly on behalf of our users. We want to give ourselves, but also our users and our partners, some certainties about the direction we will be taking in the coming years.

Values

7 principles and values guide us in determining our priorities and in carrying out our projects.

  1. We encourage curiosity through our resources, our collections, our documents and our
    activities and we promote creativity, exchanges and reflection.
  2. In everything we undertake, we act with respect for our users and their needs, for our collections and their use, for our donors and rights-holders, for our partners, for our staff and their physical as well as their mental health.
  3. Our methods are dynamic and proactive, but also founded on tradition and continuity.
  4. We are supporting education and the sciences by making our collections and our documents available through high-performing research tools.
  5. We stand out because of our keenness to share our knowledge, our expertise
    and our experiences with our national and international partners in order to imple-
    ment projects and improve shared practices.
  6. We promise lifelong learning by ensuring, through all means, easy and free access to
    the largest possible number of reliable documents.
  7. We undertake to preserve knowledge and cultural heritage in a persistent manner, and from this standpoint we are pursuing an Open Access strategy in Luxembourg.
