This is ALAO's first nation specific volume: It represents part of an effort to further internationalize the journal's contents and interests. The volume's papers describe the Library &Information Science community in Finland, outline the history of Library &Information Science in the country and reviews the scientific achievements of its Library &Information Science scholars. These papers deal with some universal themes and topics in Library &Information Science research and practice and demonstrate the unique Library &Information Science contribution Finnish scholars/practitioners bring to these problems and issues.
