Jeg er nu blevet stillet foelgende spoergsmaal flere gange:
"Jag undrar: betyder detta med NORFRI att avgiftsfriheten även gäller mellan bibliotek inom det egna landet?"
og vil derfor gerne precisere hvad der staar i teksten paa NVBFs hjemmeside om dette:
"Der er tale om en uformel sammenslutning uden befoejelser i oevrigt og uden noget andet formaal end at levere gratis fjernlaan og kopier mellem de nordiske lande paa foelgende vilkaar:
- fag- og forskningsbiblioteker i de nordiske lande (Danmark, Finland, Island, Norge og Sverige) kan meddele NVBF oenske om optagelse paa medlemslisten og herved tilkendegive, at man vil levere gratis fjernlaan og kopier til andre biblioteker i andet nordisk land som deltager i NORFRI samarbejdet - de normale laaneveje foelges ved bestilling, saaledes at nationale ressourcer udtoemmes inden bestilling sendes til andet nordiskt land"
(Citat slut)
Om man nationalt eller paa det enkelte medlemsbibliotek beslutter ikke at opkraeve betaling af NORFRI biblioteker i eget land er en anden sag - men absolut muligt.

And now in English:
As the following question has been posted to me a couple of times now, I would like to quote the text regarding the purpose of NORFRI from the NVBF homepage.
The question is: "I wonder: Does NORFRI mean that libraries within ones own country should not be charged?"
The purpose of NORFRI states that:
"This should be an informal union without any authority what so ever and with the only purpose to facilitate free interlibrary loans and photocopies among the Nordic countries at the following conditions:
- academic and research libraries in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) may inform NVBF that they wish to be included on the list of member libraries and hereby notify that the library will supply interlibrary loans and photocopies free of charge to other libraries in another Nordic country participating in the NORFRI partnership - when requesting material normal procurement procedures should be followed meaning that national resources should be consulted before a request is sent to a library in another Nordic country"
(End of quote)
If one nationally or within the single member library decides not to charge NORFRI libraries within own country that is a different matter - but of course possible.
Regards,
Poul Erlandsen NVBF
