Computers in the library

The public computers in Chalmers library give access to the Internet, the library’s databases, e-books and e-journals, and to the MS Office package. Most of our computers are connected to StuDat, a system for Chalmers students and employees, a few are available for login with your library card (please see below).

In addition, there are also a number of computers available for searching in the library catalogue CHANS and the national catalogue LIBRIS. No login is needed for these computers.
