There is no library at Campus Sandvika. The students at Sandvika have access to the University Library but through remote services.

The students at Sandvika can:

• Access to full-text articles, e-books and other resources via the University Library's website.
• Possibility to order books in Oria from the libraries in Pilestredet or at Kjeller and have them sent home. You can deliver the books at Campus Sandvika. The grey return box for books is located in the hallway on the 1st floor next to the mailboxes.
• Librarians will still teach at Sandvika in how to find academic literature, referencing and EndNote, by appointment.
• Access to the physical library services in Pilestredet and Kjeller.
• Order guidance via Skype with the ability to share the screen and view searches. Send a mail to ub.sandvika@oslomet.no with a brief description of what you want help with and a few alternatives to when you want the guidance.

You can also contact the Health Sciences Library in P32, see contact information above.

Library Card

For students and staff members at OsloMet, the student ID card/admission card also functions as your library card. Others can use a national library card, or we can issue a library card (bring a picture ID). If you do not bring your library card, you need to show another type of picture ID.

Address changes

Students change their addresses via Studentweb, others have to contact the University Library.

Loan Periods

You are personally responsible for the items you borrow and for returning them within the due dates.

• Books, student papers etc.: three weeks
• Journals (only at Kjeller): two weeks
• Films (DVD, VHS): Kjeller: two weeks, Pilestredet: one week
• Music, Audiobooks and AV equipment (only at Library P48, Pilestredet): one week

Overdue fines - late return of items

The library will send you a reminder two days 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.

Patrons with outstanding fees 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.

Compensation - lost or damaged items

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:

• Books: 700 NOK (or higher if the book is more expensive than 700 NOK)
• Journals : 200 NOK
• CD: 200 NOK
• Video/DVD: 500 NOK
• Items belonging to other libraries: rates according to the lending library

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.

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.

Loan renewal

If an item is not requested by another user, you can normally renew  the same item up to five times. Journals (Kjeller Campus only) may not be renewed.

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.
