Borrow books

If you live in Stockholm

You can not get books sent home within the Stockholm area. Borrow by coming to the library and present your ID at the information desk. You can find information about loan periods on the page Borrow. You can also choose to get an SH card, which is valid as library card, key card, and copy card. Please contact Infocenter to get an SH card.

If you live outside of Stockholm

As a student on one of the university's distance learning courses you can have books sent to your home, free of charge, on the condition that you live in Sweden, but outside of Stockholm, and have a post code not beginning with "1". This is not valid if you're taking a course that has been converted to distance learning, due to Covid-19.

The loan period for "distance loans" is one week more than the usual. This means that you can keep course books for 14 days, and three week loans for 28 days. Please note that you are personally responsible for the books reaching the library, including all the postage costs.

Printed books, e-books, databases and more

With the library search tool SöderScholar External link. and the database list External link. you can access course literature, electronic journals and other electronic resources that will help you in your studies. You can access the resources off campus, read more on the page SH: Access to databases and other e-resources.
