KVINFO is an abbreviation of the Danish words køn, viden, information, and forskning, meaning ''gender'', ''knowledge'', ''information'', and ''research''. KVINFO's core resource is a library of more than 20,000 books, journals and political publications dealing with equal opportunities and women's issues. This library may be seen as an example of a broader, more holistic concept of a library because it actually carries out important functions related to modern information centres. For example, it edits a web magazine, an online Biographical Encyclopedia of Danish Women, a database of women professionals, web stories on key periods in the history of Danish women. Furthermore, it coordinates special programs such as the mentor-network for women of all ethnic backgrounds living in Denmark, and the women's dialogue pro rights and equal opportunities in the Middle East. == History == KVINFO is the only women's library in Denmark. Its history goes back to 1964 when the founder Nynne Koch, who at the time worked at the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen as a secretary, initiated a women's documentation service. She was allocated 15 minutes a day in which to register incoming books on women's issues in a card catalogue. Such initiative allowed KVINFO to develop a unique classification and subject indexing system invented by Koch and developed over the years by special librarians. The system takes into account the particular needs of researchers specialized in women and gender studies in a way that posts in the catalogue are enriched with key words giving each post as many search entrances as possible. By 1982, KVINFO was established as a four-year experiment funded by the Danish Ministry of Culture. Koch and her staff of volunteers moved to a new venue and expanded their activities. In 1987 the center became a self-governing institution. Elisabeth Møller Jensen was the director of KVINFO from 1990 to 2014. During her directorship KVINFO's budget and staff has increased threefold, the center's magazine has been redesigned, relaunched and circulation doubled and the database project, the first online database of women experts in Europe, has gone in the Internet. Nina Groes took over the position as director 1 February 2014.〔 〕〔 〕 Furthermore, the center has implemented information technology on all levels and functions as coordinator for the Danish Ministry of Culture's project Cultural Network Denmark. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KVINFO」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
