Collection map
The collection map project is connected to the strategic aim to enhance the accessibility and the comprehensiveness of the materials. The project, initiated in 2003, was finished on the part of the university libraries in the summer of 2007. During the project, collection mapping and depicting methods as well as a joint database were developed. The operations of the project became the responsibility of the National Repository Library in the beginning of 2008 with the principle of a participation fee.
