Several Swedish publishing firms supply LIBRIS with concise information on titles which they plan to publish.

LIBRIS also contains a large selection of references to Swedish material (incl. articles and papers in periodicals, annuals and collections) of a local or regional nature, or in the humanities, social sciences and other subject areas. Many such articles have been catalogued for bibliographies. Click on Subdatabases for further information.

In addition, you can find other Swedish material which has either been acquired by the libraries cataloguing in LIBRIS, e.g. sound and video recordings, or is freely accessible as full-text resources on the Internet.

Older publications printed in Sweden are also amply represented in LIBRIS. This is true not only of the period from 1800-1975, but also of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.
