The Reader
“Libraries. Guide to the future. Projects and examples”,
edited by Erda Lapp, Silke Sewing, Renate Zimmermann and Willi Bredemeier
has now also been posted in the repository of the university library of the Ruhr University Bochum and is available via the following link:
https://doi.org/10.13154/294-8878 .
After the various publications in Open Password, after the publication of the book as a print edition by Simon-Verlag and the availability of a first open access version also by Simon-Verlag, a fourth communication channel for the distribution of the “library reader” is being tested and has all been tested Promises that the editors made to the authors were kept. www.password-online.de – www.simon-bw.de .
My special thanks go to Kathrin Lucht-Roussel, who was a pleasure to work with in placing the book in the RUB UB repository.
The “library book” is characterized in the UB repository as follows:
“26 authors, nationally and internationally known and recognized, all connected to library science and knowledge, report on their practice with the various facets of today’s libraries – be they university, specialist or district libraries. It is fascinating to see that this broad spectrum of providers experiences the same challenges in some respects, but on the other hand presents a variety of solution approaches due to different framework conditions, not least financial possibilities, and very different target groups. Partly highly scientific, partly pragmatically citizen-oriented, there is a collection of essays based on best practice reports, which you can follow or get inspiration for your own situation. Everyone who works in or with libraries of any kind or who wants to take a look behind the scenes as a user should feel addressed.”
In addition to the foreword by publisher Elisabeth Simon and the author profiles, the book contains the following contributions:

Digital Services Act
Hate, hate speech, fake news: EU decides on
rules for digital services
(Conference on the Future of Europe) What is illegal offline should also be illegal online. This applies to hate speech and terrorist propaganda, but also to counterfeit products sold on online marketplaces. At the end of April 2022, the EU states and the European Parliament agreed on a Digital Services Act ( DSA ) that addresses the most pressing problems of the Internet age. The platforms should thus take on more responsibility. It is a milestone in the history of the European Union.
The DSA is part of a digital package that the EU Commission proposed at the end of 2020. The second part of the digital package is the Digital Markets Act ( DMA ), on which there was already an agreement at the end of March 2022. The DMA aims to limit the market power of tech giants like Google and Facebook with stricter rules. _____________________________________________________
Who do the new rules apply to?
_____________________________________________________
In principle, the new rules will apply to digital intermediaries that provide consumers with access to goods and content. This affects online marketplaces like Amazon, social media like Facebook and the video platform YouTube or search engines like Google. The following applies: the larger the service, the stricter the rules. Small businesses with fewer than 45 million monthly active users can expect exceptions.
_____________________________________________________
What does the DAS cover?
_____________________________________________________
Quickly removing illegal content such as hate speech, calls for violence or terrorist propaganda – these are the goals of the DSA. Users should be able to easily report such content and companies should be able to delete the content promptly after being tipped off. There should also be the opportunity to challenge the platforms’ deletion decisions and demand compensation.
A distinction is made between illegal content and content that is harmful but falls under freedom of expression – such as lies about the effectiveness of vaccines. The spread of such fake news can endanger people’s health. Another example are false claims about eating disorders, which can drive young people to anorexia.
_____________________________________________________
How will online trading of content and goods be regulated in the future?
_____________________________________________________
• Marketplaces on the Internet are obliged to carefully check providers before possible cooperation. This should ensure that fewer counterfeit products end up online.
• Sensitive data such as religious beliefs, sexual preferences or political views may only be used to a limited extent for targeted advertising.
• In principle, minors will no longer be shown personalized advertising.
• Social networks need to make their recommendation algorithms more transparent.
Violations result in penalties of six percent of global annual turnover.
What is new is a crisis mechanism that the EU Commission subsequently added because of the Russian attack on Ukraine. The proposal aims to limit the impact of manipulation on the Internet in cases such as war, pandemic or terrorism. The EU Commission can trigger the mechanism on the recommendation of the panel of national DSA coordinators and then decide on its application.
_____________________________________________________
What’s changing for large services?
_____________________________________________________
Platforms and search engines with 45 million or more users are considered large. With regard to harmful content, these companies will in future have to submit a risk assessment once a year and suggest necessary solutions. These reports are examined by the EU Commission, among others. Researchers should also have access to relevant data to analyze how the platforms work and how risks develop on the Internet.
The European Parliament and the EU states still have to confirm the new rules for digital services, which is considered a formality. After entry into force, a transition period is planned, so that the new rules are expected to apply from January 1, 2024. For large digital services, this should happen as early as mid-2023.
With the Conference on the Future of Europe , the European Parliament, the Council and the European Commission offer you the opportunity to participate and discuss Europe’s challenges and priorities together. Around the conference, the FuturEU team publishes current news and well-founded explanatory pieces in multimedia formats for your reporting. This background knowledge prepares the participating Europeans well for the conference in order to help shape the future of Europe. #TheFutureIsYours . The project was co-financed by the European Union as part of a communication funding program of the European Parliament.
