2. Statistics from 2001 have been used, compiled by the former National Office for Research Documentation, Academic and Special Libraries (RBT) and The Norwegian Directorate for Public Libraries (SBT). Comparisons of statistical computations made by these organisations – both of which were merged under the Norwegian Authority of Archives, Libraries and Museums effective from 1 January 2003 – were complicated by their separate foci and procedures. In some cases statistics have been insufficient, e.g. college/university/special libraries statistics provided by RBT were not arranged by county.
