Looking for books

How do I search for a book?
Go to the library catalogue. Click “Search”. Type in the author’s name or a couple of words from the title. Click “Search” again. If you are looking for a book within a particular subject, type in the name of this subject.

Has the library got all course literature?
There are at least two copies of every course book on the A, B and C levels, and at least one copy of every course book on the D level. There is also a reference copy of each item of course literature on all four levels. The books are grouped by subject and can be searched for in the catalogue.

Say that all the copies of a course book are out on loan — is there a reference copy?
Yes, there is a reference copy of every course book. You will find these copies on the shelf beside the books that can be borrowed. Reference copies cannot be taken out of the library.

How do I find a book the library doesn’t have?
First make sure that you have carried out a proper search in our catalogue. If we do not have the book you want, we can obtain it for you from another library. A good idea is to look for the book in the catalogue of the municipal library.

Where do I find dissertations?
Use the library catalogue.

Which essays does the library have?
The library keeps a majority of the printed C- and D-level essays written at the university 2002-2005. You can search for them in the catalogue. Write the word “uppsats” and your subject heading in the search form. From 2006 and onwards, electronic versions are published in DIVA - if the authors themselves register them.
