Opening hours

Here you can find an overview of the opening hours of the University Library’s ten libraries. Many of our libraries also offer self-service opening hours.

A self-service library is a library you can also use outside of the staffed opening hours. As an Arctic University of Norway student or employee, you will have access to the library during self-service hours. Use your student or employee card together with your PIN code to access the building. Read more about how to get a student or employee card and choose a PIN code.

You will automatically have access to the libraries at the campus you are affiliated with. If you require access to a self-service library at another campus, you can obtain such access by sending a request to adgangskort@uit.no. Your student or employee card will then be upgraded to a library access card.

What can I do at the library during self-service hours?
• Borrow using the self-service checkout machine and make returns using the returns box
• Collect requested books from the self-service collection shelf and register the borrowing of the materials using the self-service checkout machine
• Use public PCs
• Use the library workstations to read/work/relax
• Use the WiFi

What can I get help with during staffed opening hours?
