Printed books and journals

The library's collection of printed books and journals are located at our main branch at Kroghstræde 3, Aalborg, and our branch in Esbjerg. There are no loan collections at the other branches, but you are most welcome to visit them and use them as pick-up place when you request material in our search engine Primo.

Electronic books and journals

You can use the computers at our branches for information searching. From these computers you can access our electronic collections and resources e.g. databases, articles and e-books. You cannot access these collections from your own devices, or from home.

You have to pay attention to certain general restrictions regarding access and use:

As a rule, private users are only permitted to use the library's electronic collections and resources for private purposes - never for commercial or other work-related purposes. You are permitted to read, print and download as long as you comply with the above terms. The material you use must not be shared with others - neither digitally nor in print.
