Can a superconductor be used as a electromagnetic shield against magnetic field? Where can I find some information regarding this?

Yes it can be used like that. just search superconductor magnetic shielding in google and it comes up with a list of links

What I found was a hollow superconducting cylinder can act as an electromagnetic shield. Can a coin type bulk superconductor act like an electromagnetic shield?

spherical would be better!

other than that all you`ll suceed in doing is creating the same effect of the original source 180 degrees inverse and more or less end up where you started.

 

a Sphere should counter that effect as a container if kept perfectly still (movement will create fluctuations and possibly a decaying oscillation if resonant, called a "Ringing effect").

I gather you mean a hollow sphere? The skin would be superconducting. What if it is a solid sphere?
