The Library World Volume 62 Issue 5

Abstract

A RECENT visit to Norway gave me the opportunity to see a cross‐section of libraries including those of the Royal University, the Storting and the Nobel Institute, the Deichman Library and its branches in and around Oslo, an industrial research library at Blindern, and provincial public libraries at Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg and Tønsberg. In addition, I visited the Statens Bibliotektilsyn (State Library Office), the Norwegian Library School, and the A/L Biblioteksentralen (the Central Buying Agency for Libraries). I had interesting discussions with Harald L. Tveterås, director of the Royal University Library and State adviser on scientific and research libraries, and also with Anders Andreassen, State director for public and school libraries, whose help throughout was invaluable.
