Synopsis

Gerhard Zechner calls for libraries to take an active role in educational policy, emphasizing their importance as filters of reliable information amid widespread disinformation. He advocates for a strong professional association like the VÖB to ensure political impact. Despite successes, public funding and legal frameworks for digital media remain lacking. Zechner urges increased lobbying and a comprehensive library strategy, ideally enshrined in law, to guide the next 75 years of development.
