Thor Dekov Buur’s Summary

Project manager on digital projects, "web 2.0", infrastructure and more.

I am interested in how copyright affect the libraries and how we can survive in a digital environment. In addition to this it is not clear how libraries can lend out digital material (like e-books) without violating copyright.

Another area I work in is how libraries can help bridge the digital divide. Currently the project "23 Ting" (23ting.blogspot.com) is looking as a good way.

The third major field of work is it-infrastructure of my organization. I want to make sure our staff has access to optimal computeres and network resources.
