I thought this might be of interest to the list.

Denmark’s Roskilde Libraries, one of the country’s seven biggest libraries, has purchased Axiell’s Calm system to organise and present its cultural heritage. Roskilde Libraries is a public library for the 80,000-strong municipality of Roskilde and a central library for the 820,000 inhabitants in the region of Zealand. The Local History Library and Archive is part of the library and owns a large collection of photographs, some of which have already been digitised.
The first items to be presented in the Calm Archives collection management system will be local history images of interest to local residents and tourists, with other material such as archives, audio and film to be added in the future. The information will be made available online via CalmView, the public access module for Calm. A new library management system, Axiell’s DDELibra is also being adopted, and web-based library portal Axiell Arena will be introduced, which will allow users to have one point of access and search to cultural heritage and library items.
A video on Roskilde Libraries and Calm can be seen at: http://vimeo.com/11106109. The system has been fully translated into Danish and will go live at Roskilde by the end of 2010.
