General Information

The Mathematical Library is located in the large central room in building 04 (1st and 2nd floor) and in a room in the basement called the archive.

Borrowing

Library materials can be used in the E-building only and must be checked out before removed from the library.

A computer with a program for borrowing and returning books etc. is placed on each floor in the library. A guide for borrowing and returning can be found next to the computer

When borrowing you must supply a "User ID" and PIN code. Each room in the math building has received its own user id and PIN code. There are also user id and PIN codes corresponding to each table in the library.

Note that if you search for a book using the database, and the book has been lent out, you can ask the staff which room has borrowed it or send a mail to bibliotek@math.ku.dk.

If you move to another office you must return all of your books and borrow them again using the new room number.

Returning

Please return your books on the computer before placing them on the book cart, and the staff will reshelve the books for you. You are welcome to borrow books from the book carts.

Can't find a book?

If you can't find a given material, start by searching in the database, where you can see if it's been lent out or reported as lost.  If the book is lent out, ask the staff which room has borrowed it.

Suggestions for acquisitions

Please send suggestions for acquisitions for the collection to Henrik Schlichtkrull (monographs) or Jørn B. Olsson (journals).

Regulations

The library must be quiet. Cell phones must be turned off or quieted. Bringing food or drinks into the library is not allowed. Smoking is (as on the rest of the University of Copenhagen) not allowed. You are requested to keep good order on the tables, not to have books longer than you need them, and to make sure these books are registered as borrowed. Additionally, you're referred to the guidelines on the tables.

You are most welcome to talk to the staff in the library - you don't need to whisper. 

Access to the library

Staff has access to the library with a key to all doors. Students at the institute can access the library through the main entrance. Your id-card can be activated by filling out an application at the secretariate. All other users can only enter the library during the opening hours.
