New student at the Library
Welcome to Uppsala University Library. Here we have gathered some information about the Library that might be useful for new students.
Uppsala University Library consists of nine libraries in Uppsala and one in Visby. All libraries have different subject focuses, but are open to everyone, no matter what you study.
Not all libraries are staffed but staff can be reached by chat, phone and e-mail via our service Ask the Library.
Borrow books from the Library
To borrow print books you must first register as a patron. The libraries in Uppsala and on Campus Gotland do not have the same library account:
Register as a new borrower at our libraries in Uppsala
Register as a new borrower at Almedalen Library
E-books and other e-resources do not require any registration.
Borrow books on site and return them anywhere
Print books are checked out where they are available. It is not possible to request books to be sent to another library or to your home address. All books can be returned at any of our libraries regardless of where you borrowed them.
Find books in our search tools
Print books at our libraries in Uppsala as well as all e-books can be found using the Library Search Tool – the search box on the start page of our website.
Print books at Almedalsbiblioteket can be found in Almedalen Library's Search Tool.

Read and download e-books and other e-resources
The Library’s e-books and other e-resources can be found using the Library Search Tool – the search box on the start page of our website. To access our e-resources off-campus, log in with your student account (user-ID and password A).

Course books
The University Library should have at least one copy of every course book at undergraduate level. You can read some copies in the library only, while others may be borrowed and taken home for seven days. Some of your course books may be available as e-books.
For readers with disabilities
Students with reading disabilities or problems with mobility or sight have the right to borrow customised course books such as talking books, e-textbooks, books in Braille or with large text.
Computers and Wi-Fi
There are computers you can use at all of our libraries. Log in with your student account (user-ID and password A).
Students have access to the Wi-Fi network Eduroam.
Copy, print and scan
At the library you can use eduPrint to copy, print and scan. When using the wifi eduroam, you can also print from your own laptop, tablet or smartphone.
As a student, you already have an eduPrint account. All you need to do before you can start using it is to add credit in the eduPrint portal.
If you require help with eduPrint, you are welcome to contact the University's IT support.
Reading rooms, group study rooms and study places
There are around 2000 study places at the Library, distributed across all eleven subject libraries. The study places are divided up into quiet reading rooms, “conversation permitted” and group study rooms.
