Objective. The use of social networks and other communication technologies of the libraries of the Nordic countries was analyzed, in order to identify their level of use.Design/Methodology/Approach. We identified 579 library websites and documentation centers in Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Iceland. The scientific production on social networks in the libraries of these countries was searched for the purpose of analyzing the implementation of the main social networks on their websites.Results/Discussion. The majority of the Nordic libraries rely on social networks as a means of communication.
