Abstract
The Nordic Electronic Research Library is a concept which NORDINFO, the Nordic Council for Scientific Information, uses as an umbrella for its activities during the coming years. The concept is based on national developments within the research library sector in each of the five Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The goals of the Nordic Electronic Research Library are built on the national goals, which in general terms are to make scientific and technical information easily available in all the Nordic region, independent of subject area, publication form and location of the user. This paper explores briefly the developments of the electronic research library in each of the five countries and how the concept is carried out. NORDINFO provides grants and project money to support coordination and cooperation within the field and the question is raised how NORDINFO can assist this development and increase cooperative efforts.
