 Welcome to the University Library! The University Library provides resources for all research, teaching, and learning at the University of Agder. All library resources are available in the Library Subject Guides. Find the links in the Canvas Room of your course to discover subject-specific resources relevant to your studies. The subject pages also give you access to other resources from the library. Find out about database searches, academic referencing, study skills, and much more. The subject pages have been set up by our subject librarians who are available to help you with advanced research for your projects or assignments. Feel free to call or email and make an appointment to come and talk to your subject librarian if you have questions or just want to improve your research game. You can also drop in at our help desk. The library offers open courses throughout the semester, both face-to-face and online. Sign up and learn more about end-note literature searches, citation, academic writing, or research tools such as ACON or SurveyExact. All faculty and students are welcome to use all our resources. Our local collection includes over 200,000 books and twice as many e-books. And the collections are constantly growing and kept up-to-date. Subject-specific databases provide access to peer-reviewed academic journals where you will find the most recent studies and scholarly debates in your field. Browse newspapers from all over the world. Discover our music and sheet music collection, which is always in high demand, as is our popular DVD collection. In the library catalog Aurea, you can search our local collections, as well as our collections and other Norwegian research libraries. The catalog provides information about each book, including related subjects or topics which will help you find even more relevant literature. Books are classified and placed on shelves according to their main subject areas. You can locate the book in the library by using the map function. Log in to your Aurea account to keep track of your loans and orders. Books available on shelves can be borrowed using the automats located by the library entrance. Books on loan can be reserved and the current borrower will be notified that the book is needed by someone else. Books or articles not available in our collections can easily be acquired through interlibrary loans. Complete the form in Aurea and receive an email and text message when your book or article is available on the pickup shelf. The University Library manages two publicly available repositories, one for academic publications called Aura and another for open research data called Dataverse. If you are looking to publish your research, the library can help you choose suitable publishing channels. The University offers financial support for open access publishing and the library will help you through this process. And remember, you can access all the library resources from home by logging on with EDU VPN. Welcome to the University Library!
