This paper looks at the distinguished career of Pat Manson and identifies key themes in her work on digital libraries. It then takes those themes, as Pat prepares for well-deserved retirement, and sketches out the challenges which face libraries and European organisations in 2016. The themes chosen are&58; Open Science, Copyright reform and Open Access to Publications. The paper concludes that while libraries now have a voice at European top tables, the challenge is to fine tune that voice in order to create and deliver infrastructure, policies and services which support Open Science in the twenty-first century.
