Abstract

FINNISH ARCHITECTURE has won fame and honour. This applies to the best of it, of course, the achievements suitable for export and as a trade mark. Our world image tells nothing of our middling, ordinary buildings. Finland probably has just as many deficiently planned and poorly implemented monstrosities as most other countries. But it is probably characteristic that the end product is technically quite polished. The building regulations are exceptionally precise, partly because of our harsh climate, partly because of the bureaucratic tradition of our administrative machinery.

Abstract

The development of computer‐based systems in Scandinavian libraries began during the early 1970s. In the individual Nordic countries there are no approaches to formulating a joint policy to influence this development. The absence of a formalised policy implies that a kaleidoscopic picture of systems and development strategies in the 1980s has emerged. The categories of computerised library automation systems operational in Scandinavian countries today are described in the article just as consideration is given to the schemes for systems developed up to 1990.
