TheMARC Codefor the Swedish Union Catalog is SE-LIBR, normalized: selibr.^[3]

The development of LIBRIS can be traced to the mid-1960s.^[4]While rationalization of libraries had been an issue for two decades after World War II, it was in 1965 that a government committee published a report on the use of computers in research libraries.^[5]The government budget of 1965 created a research library council (Forskningsbiblioteksrådet,FBR).^[6]A preliminary design document,Biblioteksadministrativt Information System (BAIS)was published in May 1970, and the name LIBRIS, short for Library Information System, was used for a technical subcommittee that started on 1 July 1970.^[7]The newsletterLIBRIS-meddelanden(ISSN 0348-1891) has been published since 1972^[8]and is online since 1997.^[9]
