New student? Welcome to the library!

How do I find my textbooks? Where are the library's study spaces, and how do I book group study rooms? All this and more will be explained to new students during the library's lectures and guided tours at the start of the spring semester.

On 22 January at 12.00, we welcome new students to a 15-minute lecture on how to get started with borrowing books and studying at the library. This will be followed by a guided tour of our facilities, showing where to find course literature, study spaces, group rooms, and more. No pre-registration is required.

Later that day, at 15.00, the same lecture will be held digitally via Zoom.

On 23 January, the library will give another lecture for all new students in Aula Magna during the Welcome Fair. Outside the auditorium, you’ll also have the chance to meet us and ask your questions at the library’s booth during the afternoon.

We’re also increasing our presence in the library during the first week of the semester to answer your questions. You can find us around lunchtime and into the afternoons at a table right by the library entrance. Feel free to stop by for a chat, ask questions, or just grab some candy or a bookmark. We look forward to see you at the library!
