How to obtain a library account

You get a library account when you activate your student portal login, register to a course and approve of the library lending rules. If you missed to do this you can apply for a library account

Searching and lending

Of the Mid Sweden compulsory course literature, we buy three to four copies. The lending period for course literature is 10 days. Non-course literature are 30 day loans.

To search for course books and other literature use the Library's search engine Primo. In Primo you will also find e-books, articles, journals etc. How to use Primo:
