Book locker for researchers

The Humanities Library has a number of book lockers intended for storage of materials that can only be borrowed for in-house use. In connection with the book lockers there are also a number of workspaces for researchers.

How to use the book locker and workspace

The book locker is intended for storage of materials that can only be borrowed for in-house use, as well as a very limited selection of your own books and notes. Nothing should be stored that could be harmful to library materials, such as food and drink.

You must register each time that the book locker and research workspace is used. You register your visit in a computer located outside the reading room expedition.
