| Summary: | As a research and heritage library, the Maurits Sabbe Library (KU Leuven Libraries) has a triple role to fulfil with regard to its users, in particular researchers and students of the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies (KU Leuven): provide access to, manage and permanently preserve resources in the field of theology and religious studies. The nature of these roles is fundamentally changing in relation to digital technology developments, especially in the last decade. In this contribution we discuss how the Maurits Sabbe Library, as a ‘hybrid library’, provides access to its core collections (research collections, special collections, and legacy collections) and manages and preserves them in the context of the 21st-century digital network environment. |
