Document AS A LINK IN A NATIONAL INFORMATION POLICY.
AN INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON LIBRARIES AS PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRES INDICATES
THAT NORWAY IS POSSIBLY THE MOST ADVANCED OF THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES (THE
SWEDISH REPORT IS NOT AVAILABLE). MOVES ARE AFOOT TO CONVINCE COMMITTEES THAT
PUBLIC LIBRARIES, UNTIL NOW OVERLOOKED, ARE ALREADY LARGELY EQUIPPED AS
CONSIDER ALTERATIONS IN THE DANISH LIBRARY SERVICE, INCLUDING THE FORMATION OF
A NATIONAL INFORMATION AND LIBRARY POLICY, AND LEGISLATION IS EXPECTED
FOLLOWING THEIR 1979 REPORT. IN ICELAND A COMMITTEE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1975 TO
PLAN FUTURE INFORMATION POLICY, AND AN INFORMATION SERVICE, PARTLY
TECHNICAL/SCIENTIFIC AND PARTLY A GENERAL NATIONAL INFORMATION BODY, BEGAN
OPERATION IN 1978-79. FINLAND HAS SO FAR HAD NO OFFICIAL INFORMATION POLICY,
BUT IN 1980 INVESTIGATIONS BEGAN INTO REASONS FOR SUCH A POLICY, DEVELOPMENT
PLANS, AND RESOURCES REQUIRED. THE FINNISH SP EAKER DEALT MAINLY WITH SPECIAL
LIBRARIES.

THE ADMINISTRATION OF A SMALLER PUBLIC LIBRARY AUTHORITY AND THE ORGANISATION
OF THE COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM.
IN THE NETHERLANDS LOCAL AUTHORITIES WITH LESS THAN 30,000 INHABITANTS MAY
ORGANISE THEIR OWN LIBRARY SERVICE. HOWEVER, THEY ARE REQUIRED BY THE DUTCH
PUBLIC LIBRARIES ACT TO WORK IN CLOSE COOPERATION WITH THE COUNTY LIBRARY
NETWORK. LIBRARY COMMITTEES IN THESE AREAS SHOULD INCLUDE A REPRESENTATIVE
CROSS-SECTION OF THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL LIFE OF THE COMMUNITY. COMMITTEE
MEMBERS WITH LOCAL CONNECTIONS ARE MORE LIKELY TO UNDERSTAND THE CIRCUMSTANCES
OF THE AREA. HOWEVER, WHERE THE LOCAL LIBRARY COMMITTEE INSISTS ON FOLLOWING
ITS OWN POLICIES, THE COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM MAY BE PREVENTED FROM PURSUING A
COORDINATED POLICY FOR ALL LIBRARIES THROUGHOUT ITS REGION. THE INTERESTS OF
THE LOCAL COMMUNITY CAN BE SERVED BY THE CREATION OF LIBRARY USERS' COMMITTEES
IN EACH AREA.

ROLE OF SCIENTIFIC LIBRARIES IN THE NATIONAL INFORMATION SYSTEM.
IN THE 1980S, BULGARIAN LIBRARIES MUST MEET THE COMMUNIST PARTY REQUIREMENTS
TO BECOME IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTORS NOT ONLY TO THE COUNTRY'S TECHNOLOGICAL
PROGRESS BUT ALSO TO THE POPULATION'S AESTHETIC EDUCATION. TO BECOME EQUAL
PARTNERS IN THE NATIONAL INFORMATION SYSTEM, SCIENTIFIC LIBRARIES HAVE TO
REASSESS THE POTENTIAL FOR, AND THE MEANS OF IMPLEMENTING LIBRARY COOPERATION
AND COORDINATION IN RESPECT OF BUILDING UP THEIR BOOK COLLECTIONS. ACQUISITION
OF PUBLICATIONS AND PERIODICALS FROM THE CAPITALIST COUNTRIES MUST, IN
PARTICULAR, BE PLANNED VERY CAREFULLY CONSIDERING THE FOREIGN CURRENCY
RESOURCES. ON THE OTHER HAND, LIBRARIES MUST CONSIDER AS THE 1ST AND FOREMOST
DUTY THE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION REGARDING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE USSR
AND OTHER SOCIALIST COUNTRIES FROM WHICH PUBLICATIONS ARE FREELY AVAILABLE.
INTERLIBRARY LENDING MUST BE BACKED UP AND EXPEDITED BY EFFICIENT TELEX AND
PHOTOCOPYING SERVICES. WELL-KEPT B IBLIOGRAPHIC RESOURCES NOT ONLY HAVE

AMERICA. THE CONCLUSION COMPARES THE SITUATION IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES, WHERE

THE LIBRARY'S ADMINISTRATIVE BODY: CLEAR GUIDELINES NOW!.
THE NORWEGIAN GOVERNMENT ENVISAGES CULTURAL COMMITTEES AS ADMINISTERING
LIBRARIES. INDIVIDUAL LIBRARY COMMITTEES MAY SURVIVE, BUT AS EXCEPTIONS AND IN
CONFLICT WITH OFFICIAL POLICY. THE LIBRARY SUB-COMMITTEE IS UNSATISFACTORY. A
MINISTRY OF CHURCH AND EDUCATION DOCUMENT (1979) OUTLINES DIVISION OF
RESPONSIBILITY BETWEEN LIBRARIAN AND CULTURAL ADMINISTRATION. LIBRARIANS MUST
INSIST ON SEVERAL PROFESSIONAL DEMANDS. IF THESE STIPULATIONS ARE UPHELD, AND
GUIDELINES DRAWN UP WITH THE SUPPORT OF LIBRARY ORGANISATIONS, LIBRARIES MAY
SURVIVE.
