Vision and mission

The overall goal of Nordbib is to promote an efficient co-operation between the Nordic countries in an effort to strengthen the Nordic countries in a global context. Furthermore, Nordbib is intended to engage in active information sharing with the Baltic states.

 

As a result, Nordbib's activities should help emphasize the Nordic utility value as well as support and co-operate with European initiatives, where relevant. Nordbib may be seen as the link between developments at national and European levels.

Concretely, the programme's target results aim to establish

• Access to digital research and learning resources
• Strategic collaborations between national libraries and scientific institutions and societies in the areas of e-publishing, methods and tools

Final target results are to be achieved by means of workshop activities and projects through

• Active information sharing and recommendations about OA, and research publication in support of OA to Nordic scientific information
• Rendering visible the importance of OA publishing and promotion of understanding and dialogue about OA
• Strengthening the Nordic information infrastructure for scientific research publication through Best Practice within e-publishing and digitization
• Focus on interaction and task distribution in connection with e-science
• Strategic collaboration for the purpose of competitive access to Nordic scientific information
• Technical standards and solutions for recovery and accessibility of scientific information and e-science in digital archives
