Literature
The library has four floors. On the entrance floor you will find the information desk and the two large reading rooms, Ekelöf and Loccenius. In these reading rooms there are books on Swedish and foreign law. Literature on tax law is kept in a separate room on the same floor. The books are arranged by subject and, within each area of law, by country.
On the gallery above the Ekelöf reading room you will find Swedish legislation, preparatory documents and case law. From the gallery you reach the Eschelsson reading room, where there are books on the EU, legal method and legal history etc. Here you will also find festschriften, as well as the library's special collections of publications from the Council of Europe and the EU.
The open stacks (ÖK) are in the basement of the library. There you can find our journals, older official material, foreign cases and acts. The literature on international law and human rights are placed together with the Dag Hammarskjöld Library's collections on the same subjects. For more information on how to find the different subject areas in the library, see the map.
Loans
The Law Library is a reference library, which means that the material may only be used on location, although lecturers and researchers at the University may borrow the material for use in their offices. Books in the reading rooms may be taken from the shelves for use within the library during the day, after which they are placed on one of the shelves for returned books.
Material from our closed stacks can be ordered on special forms and may then be collected at the information desk, where you also return them. If you have ordered books from other parts of the University Library, you collect them from the shelf for ordered books and borrow them in the checkout machine.
Photocopiers, printing and computers
Photocopiers, for copying and printing, are located on the ground floor. We use the Korint system.
Library computers can be found on the entrance floor, by the Mutén room, and in the Leche room downstairs. You log in with your UpUnet-S account. Some computers for searching the library catalogues are also placed in the library, for example next to the information desk.
A number of reading tables in the library are equipped with sockets for those who wish to use their own laptop computers. There is also a wireless local-area network for Internet access.
Study areas
The Law Library, together with the Dag Hammarskjöld Library, has about 330 places in the reading rooms. Group study rooms are available on level 4 in connection with the Faculty of Law’s teaching localities. There are also study areas available at Carolina Rediviva.
