Educational development in Iceland during the past 10 years has been marked by day advent of information technology. All schools are now linked to the Internet through the Icelandic Educational Network, Ismennt. Primary school libraries have been relatively slow to adopt technology, and the school library has frequently been left out of the automation of the schools. Secondary school libraries are more advanced, most of them have now automated their library collections, and secondary school libraries have their own listserv and cooperation committee to lead to development.
