6 7 Partners and community relations

The National Library has a wide-ranging national and international cooperative network whose active operation is essential for the attainment of its objectives. The National Library’s fundraising and friendship activities support its cultural tradition-related conservation and digitisation work, supplementary acquisitions, as well as research and publishing activities.

10 11 Core duties

The National Library’s FinELib service negotiated the acquisition of electronic materials worth EUR 19 million for the country’s libraries. The library also used EUR 770,000 to locally purchase 9,500 volumes of scientific materials. A campaign publicised the deposit obligations of domestic materials manufactured in foreign countries. Slightly more legal deposit copies were received compared to the previous year, and the Finnish Web Archive harvested approximately 225 million files.

egal deposit activities The National Library accumulates domestic printed and electronic publications, as well as audio record- ings, as comprehensively as possible Land describes them in the National Bibliography. The accrued materials are organised into collections Kari Timonen/National Library for customer use. No clear change trends were discernible in the receipt of legal deposit copies; only the quantity of publications varies annually. With increasing frequency, domestic materials falling within the scope of Finland’s Legal Deposit Act are being manufactured outside Finland’s borders, thereby possibly avoiding the National Library’s legal deposit procedures. For this reason the National Library implemented an information campaign, targeted at the printers and publishers of Finnish materials printed abroad, regarding their legal deposit obligations. A total of 1,550 notices were sent. Agreements were concluded with three importers regarding compliance with legal deposit obligations and the furnishing of legal deposit copies to the National Library. These agreements Irja Rautiainen filing ephemera. cover most of the printed Finnish-language publica- tions imported to Finland. In 2011, a total of approximately 225 million organisations performing their own archiving of files (21 terabytes) were harvested for the Finnish online materials.

The National Library intensified its cooperation with the National Archives Service of Finland by establishing a joint working group for protecting the collections of both organisations. Underlying the cooperation has been the desire to improve the preservation of the irreplaceably valuable materials and objects of the nation’s cultural heritage possessed by Finland’s National Library and the National Archives Service. The practical purpose of the teamwork will be to design the collections’ long-term preservation facilities, assess the mass neutralization method, check disaster preparedness, reduce risks, and facilitate more efficient conserva- tion and digitising processes. It is expected that the preservation-related teamwork will continue Katri “Rani Surya” Prusila performing the dance to intensify to the benefit of all parties concerned.
