Field of activity: Law librarian. Administrative and professional manager of The Faculty of Law Library (Law School Library) and the reading rooms at The Faculty of Law at the University of Oslo. As an author, editor and publisher of books, author of periodiacal articles and as a lecturer, my main professional interests have been related to matters concerning remedies for the retrieval of sources of law. I also concern myself with questions regarding the technological development and its increasing importance to research libraries in general. In consequence, I am especially absorbed by the significance and the possibilities given rise to by the electronic development, within law libraries as well as in other areas of law in practice. I am responsible for the professional construction and elaboration of the electronic library reference system BibJure.
The Law Library: In addition to the main library (situated in Domus Bibliotheca), The Faculty of Law Library consists of eight department libraries (situated in several different buildings) as well as a learning centre (in Domus Nova). The Faculty of Law Library permanently employ 20 persons in addition to some 15 part-time student workers. The collection of books consists of approx. 300 000 volumes.
