On this page you can read more about how to find a suitable place to study and about the IT environment offered here.

Studying at the library
The library is a popular place to study for students from all over campus. The idea behind the library's study environment is that as many as possible should be able to find a study place that suits their particular needs. Therefore, we offer everything from absolute silence in the Silent reading room to vast areas for group work on floor 5, half of floor 6, and floor 7. Signs will let you know what area you're in. We have group rooms that you can book, and a quiet IT lab with special support programs.
All over the library you will also find lots of desktop computers, where you can just sit down and log in. If you need help for example finding information or writing references, just come up to the information desk.
All rooms that go by names starting with UB are located in the library building. The first number reveals which floor the room is located on. The entrance is on floor 5. Here is more specific information about how to find different rooms.
Group study rooms in the library
The library has 11 bookable group study rooms and one accessibility-adapted resource room. The group study rooms vary in size, and several of them are equipped with screens.
