Future Vision and Strategy
Based on the forementioned mission statement and goals, we have formulated our Future Vision and Strategy that envisions what we will become some 10 years from when it is formulated and clarifies the aims of our projects on our way toward that future. The first version was approved in December 2009 (and revised in February 2016) by the Library Network Board. Reflecting on the 10 years of our activities since then, we formulated our new Future Vision and Strategy 2020-2027 in Academic Year 2019.
