Die Sächsische Landesbibliothek – Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden stellt sich für die Zukunft auf. Dazu zählt in besonderem Maße die Weiterentwicklung der betriebsorganisatorischen Rahmenbedingungen. Sie sind Voraussetzung für ein dauerhaftes erfolgreiches Agieren des Hauses auf hoch dynamischen Informations- und Wissensmärkten. Unterstützung erhält die Bibliothek dabei vom Sächsischen Landtag, der sich im Januar – einem Antrag der Regierungsfraktionen folgend – einstimmig zur Zukunft der SLUB in der Spitzengruppe der deutschen Bibliotheken und zu dafür notwendigen Anpassungen der Organisations- und Rechtsform bekannt hatte (vgl. BIS 2011/1, S. 9 – 11). Die Staatsministerien für Wissenschaft und Kunst (SMWK) und für Finanzen (SMF) gestalten diesen Prozess aktiv mit.
