Abstract

Lending of works of art in Finland began in 1971 with the opening of an art lending service in Joensuu library, involving co-operation between artists and librarians. Other artoteks were established in the years immediately following. The time is ripe for reviewing Finland’s experience of art lending, its problems and its successes. (Originally published in the Scandinavian Public Library Quarterly v.18 n.4 1985).
