What does extended opening hours mean?

Extended opening hours means that the library is only accessible to staff and students with an access card issued by the University of Skövde.

How do you get an access card?

As a student at the University of Skövde, you get an access card via your account in the Student portal. You need your access card to enter the library during extended opening hours and you need to be able to show your access card when guards check who is in the library. You can also register and use the access card as a library card. You can find information in the Student portal on how to get an access card.

Course literature

The course literature that was previously placed at the information desk is now located on the course literature shelves. Before each autumn and spring semester, the library goes through the course literature and replaces missing copies. Lost course literature is not replaced during the semester. Course literature cannot be borrowed home, it is only for reading in the library.
