New at the library
Welcome to Chalmers library! Take a look at this helpful information for new students.
Create a library account
The first thing to do is to create a library account. With the library account, you can borrow and request books.
Search for books, articles and databases
In the search box at the top of our website, you can search for course literature, books, articles, journals and databases. When you have found a book through the search box, you can see where it's located and often pick up the book yourself directly from the shelf. If the book is on loan, you can place a request at the book. You automatically have access to all our electronic resources via your Chalmers ID (CID), even if you are working remotely.
Our libraries
At Chalmers University of Technology, there are three libraries that together constitute Chalmers Library. There are many kinds of study spaces in our libraries, some parts should be completely silent while other parts are intended for group work and normal conversation level. There are also many group study rooms that you can book. Please keep an eye on our comfort rules about what applies to our libraries.
You may return books at any of our libraries. After hours you can use the book drops at the Main Library and Kuggen entrances.
Our libraries have extended opening hours, which means that you as a student can access the library even outside staffed opening hours. You can access the library between 07:00 – 22:00. To check when our libraries are staffed, please check our opening hours.
