Book requests and reservations for distance learners living outside of Örebro municipality
If you are enrolled in a summer course or another distance course at Örebro University and live outside Örebro, you can have your books sent to your home. You can order the books yourself via the discovery search service Primo.
First, you need to get a University Card. Activate the University Card as a library card on Studentjänster.
Before placing your first book order, you need to contact the library to access the service. Email the library at biblioteket@oru.se and inform us that you are a distance learner and want to start borrowing books. After receiving confirmation from the library, you can request your books through the discovery search service Primo.
Borrowing books available at Örebro University Library
Find the book in the discovery search service Primo. Reserve the book in Primo. Choose the option to have the book sent home as the pickup location. If the book is checked out, you will be placed in the queue and the book will be sent to you as soon as it becomes available for you to borrow.
The book will be sent to your home address free of charge. You will need to pay for the return postage. Remember to send the books back in good time, as they need to be returned to the library by the due date. The loan period for course literature (7 days) is extended by 6 days for distance students to allow for postal delivery.
