In 1995, the Unit of Electronic Publishing and Libraries under the Directorate-
General DG XED7E commissioned a "state-of-the-art" study of information
technologies in libraries in the Nordic countries. The study was carried out
under EC-contract PROLIB/NORDIC 10288 by the five countries in
collaboration with NORDINFO, the Nordic Council for Scientific Information.
NORDINFO is an institution under the Nordic Council of Ministers.
The purpose of the study was to provide an overview of the situation in the
mid-1990s and recent developments regarding information technologies in
libraries in the Nordic countries. The Nordic countries include Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Research libraries, public libraries as
well as school libraries were included in the study in order to provide a
comprehensive view of the situation in each country.
This report consists of five survey reports, each prepared by an author
representing one of the Nordic countries, a summary where some of the survey
results are described and compared, and an overview of Nordic cooperation
initiatives concerning information technologies in libraries. The summary and
overview were prepared by NORDINFO.
We hope that this report will provide interested parties with useful background
information about the IT-situation in libraries in the Nordic countries.
Although some of the data gathered for this report may soon be out of date
because of the rapid changes in the field of information technology, we believe
that this volume will provide a unique profile of a very exciting time in the
development of information technologies in libraries.
