Help with searching, finding, and (re)use of appropriate scientific literature for the Faculty of Science students

  Borrowing

You may borrow books from any campus library free of charge using your student card and you may return them to any University Library location. Your campus card or student card is your library card as well. You can search for a book in RUQuest. You may consult journals in the libraries. The Central Library in particular, houses many books and journals in the closed stacks; you may not retrieve these yourself from the shelves. You can request via RUQuest that they be sent to the service desk for you to collect. More and more literature is also available online or in e-book form.

RU students and staff may borrow a laptop free of charge from the Library of Science (including a mouse, power cable and lock). To do this, you will need to provide identification (a passport or driving licence). Laptops must be returned to the library before closing time.

You can borrow headphones for a day at our service desk

  Mandatory study literature

In the stacks in Wing 4, all mandatory study literature is available. This material cannot not be borrowed (only available for inspection), however, a majority of the books are also available as e-books. These are ordered by discipline on this page.
