The Stefansson Institute Arctic Library
The Institute has a small but growing library (see complete collection) specialising in arctic issues with an emphasis on communities and sustainable development. The library is above all intended for the SAI staff and its visiting scholars, but is also open to other interested who can, with special permission, borrow books and other material. Below you can browse our library list (pdf files) as registered in February 2020:
