Overview

Strategic framework

The National Library’s work programme is guided by seven principles and values, as well as nine strategic objectives, which translate its vision into concrete action.

Principles and values
  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 implement 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.
