Self-service at the Library
Self-service means that the Library is open for self-service even when the information desk is not staffed. On weekdays the Library is open for everyone. On Saturdays, the Library may be used by students and employees with a HiG card.
If you need help from the staff
If you need help with information searching, book loans or other library matters, you have to visit us when the information desk is staffed.
Are you not able to visit us when the information desk is open? Contact us through e-mail biblioteket@hig.se or 026-64 85 48.
Self-service at the Library
- Use our self-service machines for borrowing and returning books.
- If you wish to return books during our self-service hours but don’t have a HiG card, or if you are unable to return them to the self-service machine, leave them in our drop box outside the eastern side-entrance to the library. Books left in the box will not be returned in our system until the information desk is staffed.
- You may find answers to your questions through information and guides on our website to help you with information searching, and printing and copying, for example.
Who can visit the Library during self-service?
Everyone is welcome at the Library on weekdays. On Saturdays, the entrances to the University are locked and only accessible to students and employees with a HiG card. To enter University premises on Saturdays, use your HiG card at the card reader outside the entrance and enter your pin code.
