Textbooks for the Faculty of Science
Textbooks for the Faculty of Science can be borrowed at the Biomedical Library on Medicinaregatan 4.
Please note that you cannot return books from Gothenburg University Library at Chalmers Main Library. This is because Chalmers Library and Gothenburg University Library have different systems for borrowing and returning books.
Many of the textbooks are available as e-textbooks. You will find textbooks in Supersearch. Use the filter Textbook when you search Supersearch to easily limit your results to only textbooks.
About borrowing and using e-books
Wifi and access to articles and databases
If you bring your own computer with you, you can use the Eduroam wireless network to access internet. As a student or employee at the University of Gothenburg you access databases, e-books and e-journals with your GU account. The university library has several article databases within the subject area of Faculty of Science.
Help with information searching
Students and employees of the faculty of Science can get help with information searching and reference management at the Biomedical Library's digital information desk in Zoom. You do not need to make an appointment, just drop in during the information desks' opening hours.
Book a librarian
As a student at the faculty of Science, you can also book an appointment with one of Chalmers' librarians for help with information searches and references at Chalmers Main Library.
