Extract

Small countries – small libraries: is it possible to benefit from co-operation? Finnish art libraries have been establishing a co-operative network with the art libraries in the neighbouring Baltic countries throughout the 1990s. One of the aims has been to get Baltic and Nordic art libraries to work more closely together.
