<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Jan Erik Frantsvåg describes the Norwegian
RoMEO project. There is little or no information about numerous Norwegian
journals, serials and publishers in the international Sherpa/RoMEO service
operated by the University of Nottingham. The project found a local collection
to be of limited usefulness. Success depends on the incorporation of Norwegian
journal and publisher information into the Sherpa/RoMEO service. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
