We are responsible for the library's teaching activities at the basic and advanced levels regarding information retrieval, reference management and source criticism. We also supply writing tutoring, tutoring in information retrieval and talking books registration. We coordinate staffing at our information desks and develop the library's customer service. We are responsible for the study environment in the library and have the task of ensuring that the premises function and improve based on the needs of our visitors.
We work with the digital publishing of dissertations and reports in Diva, registration of research publications in Diva for dispersion to national and international systems, archiving and for bibliometric analysis. We provide services to researchers and doctoral students, including help with systematic literature searches, support on reference management systems and tools for selecting publication channels.
