Where are we located?
The library is located on campus in both Falun and Borlänge, but most of our services and resources are accessible from wherever you are.
Opening hours and how to contact us can be found here.
Feel free to use MazeMap to navigate the campus.
Key card and login are the keys to the library
When you are registered as a student in a course, it takes 24 hours before you can borrow and reserve books and access all our e-resources. To reserve a book online or access our digital resources, log in with your student login.
When you are in the library, you can borrow books at our self-service machines by logging in with your university email and library PIN code, or by showing your ID at the information desk.
During our extended opening hours, the library is only open to students and staff at the university. You use your key card and the card’s PIN code to enter. If you don’t know the PIN code for your card, you need to contact the reception on campus.
Find and borrow books and other literature
You can find all our books and other resources in the large search box on our homepage. This search service is called Summon, and through it, you have access to a large amount of material, including books, dissertations, scholarly articles, student papers, reports, and more.
The library has at least two copies of all course books, either as physical books or e-books. The loan period is always at least 21 days, for both course books and other books. If you live outside of Falun and Borlänge municipalities, you can have books sent to you by mail.
You can read more about how loans, reservations, renewals, and returns work here.
