Your multicard is automatically also your library card, and can be used for borrowing and requesting printed books. If you live in Sweden, outside Malmö, the library sends library books by post.
Books
Some books on the reading lists may be available as library ebooks. You find these ebooks in Libsearch, the library's discovery search tool, alongside the printed versions. Search for a specific book title, or search any subject and limit to Source Types > eBooks. In the library's ebook guide you can read more about the library's ebooks, how to print pages and chapters, or downloading a whole book.
Journal articles
You search for journal articles in Libsearch. Refine your search to Scholarly and peer reviewed or Academic journal to filter out articles from scholarly journals. The default setting in Libsearch is for what's available via the library, Electronic and printed material via the library. You can easily expand your search by changing this limiter.
