Meet the Library
Can’t you find what you’re searching for or do you have any questions or thoughts? Visit us at the library in Eskilstuna or Västerås. You can also contact us by phone, chat or e-mail.
Reading with a disability
If you have reading disability you can get support so that you can read your course literature. The goal is that you should be able to study on the same terms as anybody else.
Meet a librarian
Are you in need of help with an information search or do you need some tips on sources? Do you have any questions about reference management or the reference management programme? You can meet and get help from our librarians.
