Bokhylla.no is a website with digitized books from the National Library of Norway. Books published before the year 2000 are available to the public in Norway.

Students and researchers can apply for access to books that are not openly available. The requirement is that the use must be for research or documentation purposes. To verify this, you must confirm your usage when opening a document.

Note: Students cannot apply for digital access to textbooks for higher education and profession-specific academic literature published in the last 20 years. The classification is based on the publishers' book groups 2.1 and 2.2. The relevant material will be marked in the Online Library.

To access:
1. Log in at the National Library's page with Feide or ID-portalen.
2. Click "Send inn" (Submit).
3. The National Library processes the application continuously within its opening hours.
4. The applicant will receive a confirmation by email when access is granted.
