Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of library associations in Finland, which is unique in that there are four library associations within a common infrastructure established by the National Library.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper looks at all four library associations in Finland.

Findings

The paper finds that the associations have become part of a nationally connected series of projects and are working to create more commitment from the professionals who either make or break the associations.

Originality/value

As a model Finland's library associations have many lessons to offer into the future.
