You have access to the libraries every day 06:00 – 22:00. Use your card and code to get access. More information below.
For students and staff members at OsloMet, the student ID card/admission card is also your library card. Others can use a national library card, or we can issue a library card (bring a photo ID). If you do not bring your library card, you need to show another type of photo ID.
Students change their addresses via Studentweb (student.oslomet.no), others have to contact the University Library.
You are personally responsible for the items you borrow and for returning them within the due dates.
The library will send you a reminder one day before the item is due. A second reminder will be sent on the day that the item is to be returned. If you fail to return the item the library will send you a 3rd notice after two weeks. You will then be charged a non-refundable fee of NOK 50 for each book.
Pay the fee here (webshop.oslomet.no).
Patrons with outstanding fees or overdue loans are not eligible to borrow books or other items from the library. Full access to all library services will be reinstated as soon as the fees are paid in full and the item are returned to the library.
You are responsible for the items you borrow. If the items are not returned after you receive the 3rd notice, you will be liable to pay a fee according to the following rates:
You may also choose to provide the library with a replacement copy of the missing item. If a replacement copy is provided the fee will be waived.
Pay the compensation fee here (webshop.oslomet.no).
Failure to receive a notice does not cancel obligations to pay fines or fees.
All students must find the books they want to borrow on the shelves. However, you may reserve/order books that are on loan or not available on your campus. The book will then be reserved or ordered from another library, and you will receive a text message or an e-mail when you can collect the book at the University Library.
External users can only reserve items belonging to the University Library, i.e. they cannot order items from other libraries.
If an item is not requested by another user, you can normally renew the same item up to five times.
You can renew your loans by signing in to Oria using your FEIDE username and password. If you do not have FEIDE credentials please contact the library for help. External users and students from other institutions must contact the library to renew their loans.
