Investigate possibility for more permanent access to NB.no for Wikipedians
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The National Library of Norway has a system in place (since the start of COVID) where members of the public can access all material on their website NB.no, even what is otherwise locked for copyright reasons, for a set period of time (8 hours). Some Wikipedians have expressed a wish for a similar system, but where the access period is longer than that, especially in order to be able to access the website on weekends when applications are not processed.

Norwegian higher education institutions already have this type of access, but it would take some convincing for us to be able to qualify as such. Ideally, we would be able to get something in between – perhaps a similar application system as today, but with longer access times.
