Ask a librarian

Do you need help or guidance with literature searching or reference management? We offer drop-in help on Zoom and at our campuses.

All our guidance services are closed for the semester. Open again from 13th January.

Meet the librarians online

We offer guidance in references, searching and writing on Zoom. Several librarians are present so that you can meet us one by one. We use Zoom's digital "waiting room" in case of heavy traffic.

NB! If you cannot access our service via the link above, you may install Zoom on your computer and enter the meeting via the application.

Guidance by appointment (primarily for master's students)

It is expected that students initially use one of our drop-in guidance services. However, if you as a master's student still need further search assistance, it is possible to schedule one-on-one guidance with your contact librarian. You can do this either by using our booking form for guidance or by contacting your subject librarian.

Please note that this service does not replace regular classroom instruction provided by the library. Master's students seeking guidance from a librarian must have formulated a (preliminary) research question, conducted some initial searches using relevant keywords, and gained a certain overview of their topic in advance.

For tips and advice on how to get started with the search process, see Søk & Skriv.

Student tutoring
