Abstract
Denmark is a country with an advanced research library system differing in many respects from the British one. The inter-relationships of the university and national libraries and their place in the educational system are described and recent developments in classification and cataloguing, library instruction, documentation and automation are surveyed. Possible lessons for British librarians are also considered.
This article is based upon a report on a study tour submitted to the Welsh Library Association which awarded the author its Travelling Bursary for 1975. The author gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Mr. Palle Birkelund, the National Librarian of Denmark, who read the original manuscript and made many helpful suggestions.
