Keller/Mumenthaler/Neubauer 22/23 Conclusion The ETH Library has defined two dimensions that form three new areas of activity. All these initiatives add value to existing services and collections. They encourage active learning and promote knowledge and information skills of students and teaching staff. These initiatives require new standards, personalized services, acquisition of copyright cleared material and interactive tools. They have a great impact on the organisation of the library and its working processes.
