Become a borrower

Anyone over the age of 18 may borrow books from the UiT University Library, but you must be registered to use our services. 

Students are automatically added as users at the University Library when the semester fee is registered and paid in Studentweb. Make sure you have the correct contact information registered in Studentweb. See information on change of address. The student card or Student ID app is used as a library card.

New employees and research fellows are automatically added as users at the University Library when they are registered in UiTs personnel system. The employee card is used as a library card. If you are unsure whether you are registered as a library user please contact us or check if you can log in to Oria with your Feide. If you can't log in to Oria, please fill out the user registration form. When a new employee card is issued, this must be updated at the library. Contact us if you have further inquiries.

Former UiT students who become employees at UiT must register again as borrowers at the University Library by filling in the user registration form. Processing time is approximately one working day. When the registration form has been processed your employee card will function as a library card. When a new employee card is issued, this must be updated at the library.
