43 bókasafnið 34. árg. 2010 reviewed: number of bibliographic records by year, analysis of material for children and adults, analysis by language and analysis on the age of the yearly addition by publication year. At end of the year 2009 the database contained 947.864 titles and yearly addition was 5%. Childrens material is 4% of the database or 40.000 titles. Gegnir is a database that serves all library types and the fact that material for children is not so visible must create diffi culties for children to use the information system, www.gegnir.is. Acquisitions in English have increased in the last years at the expense of other foreign languages. Acquisitions in the Scandinavian languages are constantly declining and in 2009 8% of the cataloged titles were in those languages. Yearly additions to the bibliographic database refl ect the economic situation. When reviewing yearly additions to the database by publication year it is clear that the Icelandic economic crisis in 2009 had an enormous eff ect on cataloging of both new and older material.
