Finland takes leave

The Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture has been
responsible for Scandinavian Public Library Quarterly since
the beginning of 2006. For the next five years the National Library of Sweden will be in charge. Also Scandinavian Public Library Quarterly takes leave, reappearing as Scandinavian Library Quarterly from next year on. Broadening the themes to relate also to scientific libraries will hopefully result in an even more interesting journal for you to read. In this last issue we take a look at a challen- ging newcomer, the e-book. Far from having solved all the problems linked to this new library material we want to give you a broad view of our current efforts and projects.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year 2012 with our new journal, Scandinavian Library Quarterly!
