| Summary: | This article provides insight in the way libraries are faced with a digitalizing world. We focus on thematic collections; how these collections are created and can be propagated. General aspects concerning the disclosure of thematic collections are exemplified by the Maurits Sabbe Library’s jesuitica collections. We share some thoughts on how resource management (cataloguing) and digitisation have evolved since the beginning of the 21st century. Digitalisation offers librarians challenges as well as opportunities; a shift from information provision to information access is definitely noticeable, yet a crucial factor in data and information provision will still remain for the foreseeable future. |
