The IRI Library

The Swedish Law and Informatics Research Institute has a small research library that has been built up during the course of the Institute’s existence. The library’s collections include works within Legal Informatics, IT-law and a multitude of related subjects, such as ABD and jurisprudence.

All of the Institutes’ associates have access to the library. In addition, if you are writing a thesis in order to attain the legal degree or a Masters thesis within Legal Informatics, you will also have the opportunity to utilize the library’s resources. Please contact your supervisor in this regard.
