It has computers and software programs needed for studies, and facilities for printing, copying and scanning documents. The website has news, the library catalogue, databases, journal articles and other sources.

Librarians with specialist expertise, trained to find reliable information and to criti- cally review sources of information, offer help and guidance. Contact the library if you need help to search the library catalogue, use data- bases, format a bibliography or develop a strategy to search for information for an essay, article, thesis or project. The library’s electro-nic collections are available around the clock for students and employees.

There are lots of ways of contacting the li-brary to ask questions. Visit, phone or send an e-mail.

The University Library’s collection of sour-ces of information ranges from 17th century historical documents to today’s digital news flow. The vast range available reflects the University’s areas of education and research. Journals and books sit alongside electronically available resources in the library’s catalogue. Hallandsrummet contains a special collec-tion of literature about the region of Halland. The collection was originally a donation, and it is being updated continuously with new literature.

The library’s premises offer an environ- ment that stimulates not only curiosity, but also knowledge and creativity. The premises are used as a workplace and meeting place for the University’s students, teachers, researchers and other employees. There are individual stu-dy places in Hallandsrummet. There are places for group work and individual study all over the library. Group rooms can be booked.

The library is an important resource for learn-ing that focuses on the student’s indepen- dence – a place for study, meetings and dis-cussions, with access to media and pro- fessional assistance.

The library offers training in searching for in-formation, which includes practical training and support in using tools to help users find scientific information, to assess the relevance of various sources and to manage the results of a search.

The library works actively with key people and research environments in the Universi-ty to make the everyday lives of researchers easier by offering various tools and guidance for information processing. The library works to make research results visible and to high-light the scientific articles, reports and books that staff at the University publish through the DiVA publishing system. In this way the results from and the quality of research is communi-cated to the outside world.
