Books borrowed from other libraries in Norway or abroad are placed on the collection shelf in an envelope marked with the name of the borrower and a written message that "The book has been lent to you" with the current date it was placed on the collection shelf.

Find books in the library

  1. Look up the book in Oria
  2. Find shelf number
  3. Check the end of the shelf to see if you are in the right place before moving along the shelf
  4. When you have found the book, you can borrow it by using the lending machine

Return books

You can either return the book to the return box outside the entrance to the library, or you can return books at the lending machine.

Books borrowed from other libraries in Norway or abroad cannot be returned at the machine, but must be placed in the return box outside the entrance to the library.

Printing

To print, you must use mobile print from your own portable device. At the heart of the library you will find a kitchenette and a printer. On the printer there is also a note with an overview of other printers in the building.

Wireless network

The wireless network at UiO is called Eduroam, and requires a login.
