Open access versus copyright
Legal issues and the Norwegian Ask The Library service
The paper discusses the copyright issues in the Norwegian ATL service, and looks at ways to circumvent the legal pitfalls. The similar services in Denmark (Biblioteksvagten) and Sweden (Fråga biblioteket) are compared. The significance of the ambitious digitization program of The National Library of Norway is considered. Professional librarians working in the service have been interviewed and different approaches to legal questions in the Scandinavian countries are discussed. The complexity of legal issues in the Scandinavian ATL services is not widely recognized and the literature on the topic is sparse.
