The Nobel Library was founded in 1901 to assist the Swedish Academy in its task of selecting the Nobel laureate in literature. It s a modern research library with more than 200,000 volumes, making it the largest library of its type in Scandinavia. Its emphasis is on contemporary literature, mainly in original languages, but also in translations to English, French, German, and Swedish. The library also a holds a collection of literary criticism and linguistics. The library wanted a fully integrated and fully functional system, which at the same time offered flexibility and stability.
Millennium responds well to our requirements.
Millennium is a modern library system that will be able to handle not only our Swedish characters, but also the more than 30 languages that are covered in the Nobel Library, said Erlandsson. The task for the library is to cover the literature of the world a mission for which Millennium will be an important instrument. It certainly is a challenge both for the Nobel Library and for Millennium. We also look forward to following the library s future development and cooperation with the Nobel e-Museum, where links will be created from the Nobel Library catalog. Its advanced technology simplifies the computer administration in the library, which comprises 500 different positions.
