•National bibliography and various union catalogs
• Fengur
•Reykjavík City Library
•Hospitals and 90 other libraries in the public and sector

Mission
To select a library system for all Icelandic libraries, including university-, public-, school and research libraries. The guideline is to connect all Icelandic libraries so their databases will appear uniformed or as one database from the user’s point of view.

Goals and Objectives
• To increase proficiency in administration and management of the libraries
• To select the most cost effective library system that fulfills the requirements for the system
• To eliminate multiplications of tasks within the libraries both regarding to cataloging and patron information
• To grant all Icelanders access to individual library collections or all collections of Icelandic libraries as unity

Union Catalogs
• Catalog that everyone catalogs into and the libraries retrieve relevant records
• Libraries and systems are connected by the Z39.50 protocol
• Library catalogs are merged together and cleaned up afterwards, not real time
• One union catalog, one library catalog
![Page 7: Gegnir A National Library System June 2003 Sigrún Hauksdóttir Consortium of Icelandic Libraries.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ead5503460f94bb3db0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Scenario
• The union catalogs, Gegnir and Fengur, contain 2/3 of the library usage
• Other systems are:
oMikroMarc
oMetrabók
oBókver
oEmbla
