  5. How does FinSMUG work • Working group consists of members in university, polytechnics, public libraries and the National Library and it changes yearly (~5 members) • FinSMUGs in context with “Triangle seminar” i.e. library systems (LINNEA/Voyager), digital objects management system (DORIA/Encompass) and library portals (NELLI/MetaLib/SFX) • Focus on subjects that libraries find useful and topical
