Information Resource Center
The Information Resource Center (IRC) section of the U.S. Embassy website is the "information booth" where we hope you'll find whatever you were looking for but couldn't find in other sections, including information about library/documentation/reference resources, Embassy events and happenings, frequently asked questions (FAQs), information resources and services for teachers, and how to use the site and communicate/ interact with the embassy.
The IRC provides reference, referral and documentation service for researchers, journalists, govt officials, and others with a professional or scholarly interest in the United States. Qualified information resource specialists can assist with your inquiries about the U.S.
The IRC can provide personalized alert services on topics relating to U.S. policy and topical issues. If you need assistance from the IRC in connection with your work call 47 21308802 or 21308708 or send email to irc[at sign]usa.no with the embassy.
