Information technologies in libraries in the Nordic countries
The European Commission, DG XIII, has published a study on the state-of-the-art of information technologies in libraries in the Nordic countries, as part of its series of studies on "Libraries in the Information Society". This report is the result of a study of information technologies in libraries in the Nordic countries undertaken on behalf of the European Commission. The purpose of the study was to provide an overview of the situation in the mid-1990s and recent developments regarding information technologies in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Research libraries, public libraries and school libraries were included in the study in order to provide a comprehensive view of the situation in each country. The report consists of five country reports, a summary of the most important survey results, and an overview of Nordic cooperation initiatives concerning information technologies in libraries. The summary and overview were prepared by NORDINFO, the Nordic Council for Scientific Information. This volume provides a unique profile of a very exciting time in the development of information technologies in Nordic libraries.
