Since 1698 everything printed in Sweden has been delivered to, kept, and made accessible at, the Lund University Library.

In this study we attempt to answer three questions:
Who uses the collection?
For what purpose?
What parts of the collection are used the most?
In order to answer these questions we conducted a multiple stage study,
consisting of analysis of statistical data, questionnaires, and interviews with users and library management.
After the presentation of our results a concluding discussion on feasible prospects for the future follows. (Less)
