The collection of numismatic books is open Thursday afternoons and by appointment with the librarian. The library owns a collection of books on classical archaeology, ancient history and egyptology. The collection is housed on the premises of the Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities . It is available to the general public. But a big part of the library's acquisition consists of publications obtained through exchange with, Swedish and foreign universities, museums, academies and learned societies etc.
Exchange accounts for well over half of the library acquisitions, dominated by journals and serials.
The display of new books is updated every fortnight and the new journals once a week. The main collections are stored in closed stacks. Retrieval from the stacks is handled by library staff. Check under Circulation Service for more information.
