Readers can consult printed documents in a room with 10 seats, order online, in advance and remotely or on site. Since the end of June 2018, they have also been able to order some manuscripts and archives of the department in the same way. A selection of catalogues and manuals dedicated to numismatics and glyptics is available to readers in the library, as well as a selection of recent or recently acquired publications.
Part of the printed documents are kept in other sites of the Library, mainly the collections dedicated to archaeology. A delay of 72 hours is necessary to receive them in the reading room.
