Welcome to Nordbib

 

Nordbib is a funding programme for research and development in the area of Open Access to scholarly and scientific information at a Nordic level. Nordbib itself is funded by Nordforsk and its secretariat placed organisationally in the framework of Danish Agency for Library and Media. The overall purpose of the Nordbib programme is to create a joint Nordic approach to Open Access and research distribution.
