We want everybody to have the best possible study and work environment Here you can read our library etiquette guidelines, developed in collaboration with student representatives. 

Please show respect for fellow library users and library staff. Speak in a low voice and keep your phone on silent mode so that everyone can study in peace. Please respect the quiet zones and avoid talking when on the stairs between floors or when leaving the group study rooms on the upper floor. Avoid strong fragrances out of respect for allergy sufferers. Kindly respect that the premises are used for studying and not for sleeping. No types of transport, such as bikes, are allowed in the library. 

Keep the study areas tidy. Please leave your study area in the same condition as you wish to find it. Tidy up when you have finished, place any garbage in the bins provided and arrange the furniture as you have found it before leaving. 

No food is allowed in the library. Drinks, fruit and sweets are permitted in the library, but nothing that smells or stains. If you drink coffee, please choose a cup with a lid. This also applies in the group study rooms.

Please never leave your phone, computer or other valuables unattended. Bring them with you whenever you leave your seat, even if only for a few minutes.
The library is open to the public, and usually has thousands of visitors every day.
Unfortunately, thefts do occur.

When booking a group room, please consider the following:

• You can book a room for up to ten hours at a time, and at the earliest a fortnight in advance.
• Please cancel the room if you are not going to use it .
• Some rooms are designed for one person, others are larger and can accommodate groups of up to 6-8 people. Choose the right size for your needs, for better ventilation and best use of the rooms.
• To find your way to a room you have booked, please refer to the map of the library. Rooms 1-40 are located on the upper floor, and rooms A-H on the entrance floor.

Etiquette guidelines for group rooms:

• You may not rearrange the furniture, e.g. move more chairs into the room.
• No food is permitted in the rooms. 
• Please leave the room in the condition you wish to find it.

There are a number of adapters for lending, to enable you to connect your computer to the screen in the room. Ask the staff at the information points.

Keep in mind that you need an access card to access the resource rooms. You can get an access card from the  coordinator for special pedagogical support.
