Accessibility

The University Library strives to provide its users with accessible services. This refers not only to the buildings themselves, but also to access what the library has to offer both physically and virtually.

Unfortunately, not every library is able to provide full accessibility for people with disabilities, and here library staff will be happy to assist you.

Information on barrier-free access to our library buildings can be found on the information pages for the individual libraries.
