23. It is unquestionable that there is a strong and growing dependency of research on software. https://unsplash.com/@toddquackenbush?photo=IClZBVw5W5A - PD
24. Software is also a result of scientific work. Quality, accessibility, citability, etc. have to be ensured. https://unsplash.com/@toddquackenbush?photo=IClZBVw5W5A - PD
25. The importance of software for research is widely ignored. https://unsplash.com/@toddquackenbush?photo=IClZBVw5W5A - PD

27. Ultimate access creates new problems: Increased effort to find and process information. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wheatfields/3921008904/ – CC-BY by flick user wheatfields
28. Train skills to find research items beyond articles efficiently. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wheatfields/3921008904/ – CC-BY by flick user wheatfields
29. And yes - compete with Google and build better, open discovery services. Together we can be strong. See Peter Kraker’s #DontLeaveItToGoogle initiative. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wheatfields/3921008904/ – CC-BY by flick user wheatfields
30. Libraries must train the skills and build tools to find, connect and integrate, literature, information and data to create new knowledge. https://www.flickr.com/photos/capcase/4970062156/ – CC-BY by flickr user capcase
