Notes de l'éditeur
Literature research as the starting point for every scientific work.
Ten years ago, literature access was slow and expensive, today it is usually very convenient. People almost expect to get all literature online, right in the moment when they need it.
Google Books not mentioned here, although I know many of you are using it anyway. However, we are not considering it as a trustworthy site producing the quality we need.

And this is not just a virtual network, but a real project collaborating even in face to face meetings.
BHL-US, BHL-Europe and all the other nodes working together for the same goal, and we are working an a solution for all of you. However, we all have some regional requirements based on the nature of the individual nodes as individual projects. These requirements sometimes makes it difficult and you need to understand this, but these requirements on the other hand are a chance to really build a stable and sustainable system.
