Abstract
This paper discusses the dynamic relationship between libraries and researchers. At first, we look at the scientific, technological and financial developments which have led to a transformation of the relationship over the last decades. In the following, we ask whether Open Access is a solution to the existing problems and what are the pros and cons of this model for scholarly publishing. Finally, we will show possible new tasks of libraries in the research process
