Guide to the library: Researchers

As a researcher at Umeå University, you can get help from the library with various aspects of your work, from research data management and information searching to publishing and reference management. This guide offers tips on using the library and links to more information.

Find what you need in our collections

Our libraries provide access to many collections, both digital resources and physical materials. These include the latest scientific literature, unique archival and specialised collections, fiction, and much more. If you cannot find the material you are looking for in the library collections, you can request what you need for your research. We will purchase what you request or order it as an interlibrary loan.

Managing research data

You can find information and resources about research data on the library website. We offer personalised counselling on how to manage your data.

Information searching and reference management

If you need help to search for information in databases or managing references, the library offers several forms of assistance. You can:

  • participate in one of our courses and workshops;
  • get customised lectures or workshops for your research group;
  • schedule an appointment for individual counselling; and
  • order a search consultation from the library to get help with systematic searches and mapping research areas in preparation for future applications.

Publishing support

You can turn to the library if you have any questions about publishing, such as

  • choosing a publication channel;
  • open access;
  • copyright; and
  • registration in the university's publication database DiVA.

In our guides for students, teachers and doctoral students, you can also find information relevant to researchers.
