When using book from the Institute library, please fill out a loan slip (see example by the librarian's desk), with a carbon copy, for each volume. All books used in the library, or in the guest rooms must have a loan slip. You will find the slips and plastic holders (to be put on the shelves in the place of the borrowed book), on the librarian's desk at the rear of the library. 2). You must write the author, the title, the classification number, your name and your guest room number on the loan slip (as in the example by the librarian's desk). 3). Returning books: Books should be returned to the trolley next to the librarian's desk, and not to the shelves , as this often results in the misplacement of volumes. Please do refrain from putting the books back yourselves. 4). Upon departure, please check with the librarian that all library books loaned by you have been returned.     The SRII library is provided with both wireless and ethernet connections. Due to the recent legislative changes regarding file sharing software in Sweden, please note that the use of p2p applications at the SRII is illegal as this use potentially infringes copyright laws worldwide. We therefore ask all our visiting scholars and researchers  to be aware of this.
