Abstract

Purpose

This article aims to illustrate a technique to map, evaluate and describe subject‐based collections. The method was designed in collaboration among Finnish university libraries. The case study seeks to describe the application of this method in a multidisciplinary university library.

Design/methodology/approach

This case study presents the collection mapping method and its application in Tampere University Library, and shows how to gather data on subject‐based collections and their usage.

Findings

The case study shows that the method can provide useful information on a library's subject‐based collections. Using this information the library can describe and develop its collections and also present the results on the subject‐based collections to the faculties concerned.

Originality/value

The article describes Tampere University Library's application of the method which makes it possible to map, evaluate and describe the library's collections.

Abstract

This chapter explores socio-political networks and cross-sectoral co-operation in the context of solving environmental problems in an emerging economy: Russia. The aim is to shed light on key success factors of cross-border co-operation involving public, business and third-sector actors. The case study on protecting the Baltic Sea analyses a Western–Russian partnership between a Finnish non-governmental organisation and a Russian water utility and its embeddedness in business and socio-political networks. We conclude that key factors of success in this case were the successful timing of the NGO's initiative, the historic platform of Finnish-Russian co-operation in the area of clean water, and the gradual building of the actors’ social networks and legitimacy. The chapter contributes to the embryonic area of CSR studies in the emerging market context and extends the legitimation, trust-building and commitment model (Hadjikhani, Lee, & Ghauri, 2008) to the context of CSR in contemporary Russia.
