Contents of the EROMM Database

Statistics by Country of Publication / Language of Publication / Year of Publication

There are three tables showing the present contents of the EROMM file (2,5 million records) in percentages according to year of publication, country of publication and language. The tables show differing percentages for records derived from the three hosts (Europe, North America, Latin America). Some 80 percent of the records in the EROMM file are derived from RLIN (see here). This large part of American records is due to the early start of American libraries in recording reformatted books. However, Europe is continuously increasing its share and will no doubt be able to contribute large quantities of records once all European countries have joined.
