We know from communication with data provider that parts of the detailed information (phone number, website, possibly postal addresses...) are not up to date or not quality assured. I still think we can (start with) the basic info and then possibly discuss how useful the rest is, or crowdsource it...

Basic info to upload:

• Library name :)
• Administrative location (municip/region)
• Coordinates!

Further problems:

• Hospital/school libraries in the database have problematic names, such as Sjukhuset i Falköping or Musikhögskolan Ingesund. These cannot be imported as names of libraries.
  • Possible Solution: only import public libraries? I.e. Bibliotekstyp == folkbib
• Some foreign/Nordic libraries included – b/c connected to Libris.
  • Should these be excluded?
• ID property has to be investigated. The libraries in the database have a siglum, but:
  • Is it unique?
  • Is it part of an international system, or only Swedish? Note that non-Swedish libraries in the db have sigels starting with digits, like 5Hfb, which is weird.
