Welcome to Umeå University Library!
We are currently renovating large parts of the University Library. Study spaces are limited, and you will need to request many books in advance before borrowing. The entrance has been temporarily moved during the renovation.
How the library works now: Changes in the library facilities

Students will continue to have access to the study area at the Medical Library.
On 14 April, EBSCO will use a new form of digital rights management (DRM) that affects downloaded e‑books.
