Search for books, articles and databases
In the search box at the top of our website, you can search for course literature, books, articles, journals and databases. When you have found a book through the search box, you can see where it's located and often pick up the book yourself directly from the shelf. If the book is on loan, you can place a request for the book. You automatically have access to all our electronic resources via your Chalmers ID (CID), even if you are working remotely.

Our libraries
Chalmers University of Technology Library is made up of three individual libraries. There are many different kinds of study spaces in our libraries, some parts are completely silent while other parts are intended for group work and normal conversation level. There are also many group study rooms that you can book. Please check our wellbeing rules for what applies at our libraries.
Our libraries have extended unstaffed opening hours, which means that you as a student can access the library even outside normal staffed opening hours.
