The National Library of Norway can provide digital access to certain books. You will have to submit an application to get access to legally deposited materials. You can read more about the service here.

Please note that textbooks for higher education and profession-specific academic literature published in the last 20 years are exempt from the digital access scheme.

Procedure for submitting an application

The user logs in to the Online Library with their FEIDE user (or with the ID-porten).
After logging in, they will be directed to the application form for access.
The National Library of Norway processes applications on an ongoing basis within its opening hours.
The applicant will receive confirmation by email when access has been granted. Access is valid for 8 hours and covers most books, journals and newspapers in the online library that are subject to legal deposit in one application.

If you have questions about the application process or the National Library's services, you can contact the National Library.

After logging in, you have access for 8 hours. If you are inactive for 2 hours, your access will be removed, and you must submit a new application.

You cannot download or print material from the website.
