If you are 18 years or older, you are welcome to borrow from us. Uppsala University Library is open to everybody but its primary task is to serve the students and staff at Uppsala University.
You will need a library card to reserve, request and borrow books. Library cards are valid at all the subject libraries at the Uppsala University Library.
If you don't have a library card you can apply for one online: Patron self registration. Then collect your card at your nearest subject library. You will need to show proof of your identity.
- Your library card is personal and should be kept safe
- You are responsible for returning your loans on time
- You must inform the Library when you change your postal and e-mail addresses
Loan periods
- Home loans: 30 days open loan which means that you are guaranteed the book for 30 days, but you may keep the book for up to 90 days if nobody has reserved it
- Set course books (Course collections) are available either as reference copies, 7 day loans or 1 day loans
- In-house loans may be used only inside the Library
Renew your loans

Overdue books
