English abstract
As stewards of their collections, libraries have a responsibility to ensure that the digitization agreements they enter into protect the public domain and provide for innovative uses of digital files beyond keyword searching. This article brings together a number of articulations of core library interests in digitization partnerships, identifies six key interests against which potential agreements should be evaluated, and urges libraries and their institutions to make full use of their leverage to ensure the global digital library is open and dynamic. A checklist accompanying the article suggests some of the questions negotiators might ask themselves as they consider their objectives in entering an agreement.
