swatchikirjastosta
Swatchikirjastosta is a concept related to the Finnish library system, specifically referring to a library's collection of items that are less frequently borrowed or used, but still retained for their value or potential future demand. These items are often stored in a more compact or remote location within the library, or sometimes off-site, to free up prime shelf space for more popular materials. The term literally translates to "Swatch library" or "reserve library" from Finnish.
The rationale behind swatchikirjastosta is to balance the need for access to a wide range of resources
