To mark the occasion of the author’s 25 years in the service of the Danish state, a selection of his most recent articles and papers were brought together in the publication Danish Library Policy.

The texts cover a broad spectrum, ranging from an introduction to the Danish Library system, via a description of the Danish National Library Authority (of which Jens Thorhauge is the director), national libraries, university and research libraries, Denmark’s Electronic Research Library to public libraries, including children’s libraries. Throughout, the main emphasis has been placed on strategic development.
