Abstract

Acquisitions are centralized, but this can lead to unsuitable selection for local libraries. The national library receives most funds, while other libraries suffer. There is lack of good bookshops. Interlending is focused on the national university library, and attempts to create a national union catalogue have failed so far. Demand for books is high, but the status of librarians is low. Interlending could be based on existing research collections, but a central collection of journals would be costly and premature.
