Studying at the Library

The library offers different types of studying places, which we believe may provide a good and varying studying environment during your entire time as a student.

Zones

The library is divided into different zones. The upper level is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs where you work in groups.

Computers

You can use your own computer to connect to the wireless network throughout the library, but you can also use bookable computers. They contain the most commonly used applications that you need, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated furthest in on the ground floor, in the area known as the Experimental Field. You can sit alone or in groups at these places. The computers are booked via the website. Once you're logged in, Click on Group Study Rooms under My pages.

Group Study Places

If there are several of you working in a group who want to speak freely without disturbing anyone else you can book a study room or sit at one of the tables on the ground floor.

Rules for mobile phones

Remember that mobile phone conversations are not permitted anywhere in the library. Treat your mobile phone as if you were in a lecture, keep it on silent and exit the library if you need to receive calls.

Please respect your fellow students

The library is your place to study and the staff's workplace. Pick up after yourself and throw trash in the bins, or use the recycling station at the entrance. Food is prohibited in the library, but you are allowed to have drinks, fruit and sweets with you.

When you need a break from your studies you can find the cafe just outside the door. Always take your valuables with you!
