Everyone is welcome to visit the library, but we are also part of your workplace, if you are a student at Södertörn University (SH), the Swedish Red Cross University College (RKH) or the University College of Music Education in Stockholm (SMI). 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 and half of floor 6. 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. It is always staffed when the library is open. Welcome to study at the library. Below you will find more information in detail on studying at the library.
