You can find information about how to obtain an ISBN number on the University library  web pages.
 

 

When you have registered your dissertation a message will be sent to the contact person at your faculty or institution, who will approve the registration. You will receive a message when the registration is approved and your thesis is visible in LUCRIS.

Every doctoral student is to submit three complete copies of the doctoral thesis (one copy of licentiate thesis) to the University Library at Helgonabacken. Each copy of the doctoral thesis should contain a document data sheet.

Note! If you are a doctoral student at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology, do not submit your thesis to the University Library. Your faculties will handle it for you.
