Books, books everywhere, but still not a page to read. It is the ultimate ‘readers’ block’: The huge, new, glass cube, the humanities library. But fear not! Here is your ultimate University Post<\/em> guide on how to get around the University of Copenhagen Humanities Library.<\/p>\n

Once the first bit of uneasiness has disappeared, you are probably asking yourself: ‘How do I get started? What resources do I have access to?’ And then: ‘How do I even find what I need?’ Below you will find seven brief tips on how to make the most of your time at the Humanities Library (map to find it here).<\/a><\/p>\n

The library’s own website here.<\/a><\/p>\n

1 – The key to it all<\/h2>\n

First of all, find your KU-number! This identification together with your PIN-code will be your personal key for all electronic services offered at each branch of the Royal Library \u2013 including the Humanities Library.
\nThe ID-number is closely related to your university-card, so you\u2019ve probably received both together at the beginning of your matriculation.
\nAs a foreign student you can use the library on the same terms as Danes. So once you have your university-ID, simply register in this form<\/a> and all the services and gadgets at the library will be at your feet!<\/p>\n

2 – Lock up your troubles!<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s nothing worse than studying under several layers of clothing and with a heavy backpack on your lap, right?
\nGood! Get youself a free locker by talking to one of the staff members on the bottom floor \u2013 like Jesper here in the photo guide. He will give you a key to one of the metal cabinets located on each floor.
\nThis will then be yours for the next two months and your subscription can be renewed as often as you like.<\/p>\n

Remember to see our step-by-step photo gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n

3 – Books, books, books<\/h2>\n

But where are the books? They aren\u2019t exactly piled in front of you at first sight, although two thirds of the entire building is actually devoted to a library storehouse.
\nHowever, right behind the lockers on each floor there’s a selection of works for the larger fields of study, while both the 1st and 2nd floor offer you endless racks of reference books and dictionaries.
\nAnd if you need a specific book, check the REX search engine<\/a> through one of the library\u2019s free-to-use computers. This will offer you a quick service of maximum 24 hours\u2019 waiting time, if you reserve a book which isn’t already on loan.<\/p>\n

We kindly remind you to see our step-by-step photo gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n

4 – Levels of silence<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve found your reading material, you can now choose how much silence you need for concentration.
\nDo you want to chat with your friends while sorting out the text? Head to the caf\u00e9 and sitting area at the bottom floor. Do you just need to screen off the occasional chatter? Then the semi-silenced working area on the 1st floor will do nicely for you. Need total silence? Top floor.
\nThe Humanities Library even has a special reading room on the 2nd floor, if you need to close out the last bits of possible disturbance.<\/p>\n

Surely you’ve seen our step-by-step photo gallery by now.<\/a><\/p>\n

5 – Reading racks and tablets<\/h2>\n

After a couple of lines of text, perhaps you\u2019ll feel a bit tense in the neck area already.
\nSo why not keep your chin up with a so-called reading rack? They\u2019re found right by the information desk on the bottom floor, and you borrow these as you would any ordinary book; that is, through the self-service check-out-system next to the library\u2019s entrance doors.
\nIf you\u2019re more used to reading on a tablet or iPad, at the moment there’s a couple of these on display and at your free disposal just in front of the caf\u00e9 area on the bottom floor. After this exhibition closes, you can still borrow e-book-readers by searching for “ebogsl\u00e6ser” on REX<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don’t go without seeing our step-by-step photo gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n

6 – It’s all in the mainframe<\/h2>\n

Need a digital book? Just log on to the Royal Library’s website and go to their page of electronic resources<\/a>, where you will find heaps of different articles, dictionaries, e-books etc. for your perusal.
\nNeed to make a print or a copy? Simply go to the printing and copying page<\/a>, where you can top up money on your digital printing card by following a link to your account.
\nOnce there’s money on your card, print your document on one of the computers, then go to one of the small printing niches on either floor. Here like everywhere you punch in your personal data and press \u201cpull print\u201d or \u201ccopying\u201d.<\/p>\n

Go on, you know you want to see our step-by-step photo gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n

7 – And by the end of the day<\/h2>\n

You won\u2019t believe it, but the library has something to offer you, even when you\u2019re all worn out from poring over your books all day.
\nGo to the lounge with the couches behind the printer on the 1st floor, keep to your right, and there at your service you\u2019ll find \u2013 a massage chair!
\nType in a routine for your mechanical masseuse to follow and then buzz your last bits of tension away after a well-spent day at the Humanities Library.<\/p>\n

What resources do I have access to?’ And then: ‘How do I even find what I need?’ Below you will find seven brief tips on how to make the most of your time at <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.dk\/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&channel=rcs&q=Faculty+of+Humanities+University+of+Copenhagen+Njalsgade+80,+DK-2300+Copenhagen+S&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x46525343f99d9ef5:0xffef74adf7f61392,Njalsgade+80,+2300+K%C3%B8benhavn&gl=dk&ei=batuUImxBYLd4QTYsYCQCw&ved=0CCEQ8gEwAA\"> the Humanities Library (map to find it here).<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The library’s own website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kb.dk\/en\/kub\/fag\/hum\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>1 – The key to it all<\/h2>\n<p>First of all, find your KU-number! This identification together with your PIN-code will be your personal key for all electronic services offered at each branch of the Royal Library \u2013 including the Humanities Library.<br \/>\nThe ID-number is closely related to your university-card, so you\u2019ve probably received both together at the beginning of your matriculation.<br \/>\nAs a foreign student you can use the library on the same terms as Danes. So once you have your university-ID, simply register <a href=\"https:\/\/login.kb.dk\/kbuser\/regguide?KB_FORM_TYPE=KU&info=yes&pref_lang=en_US\">in this form<\/a> and all the services and gadgets at the library will be at your feet!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"node\/16539\">See our step-by-step photo gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>2 – Lock up your troubles!<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing worse than studying under several layers of clothing and with a heavy backpack on your lap, right?<br \/>\nGood! Get youself a free locker by talking to one of the staff members on the bottom floor \u2013 like Jesper here in the photo guide. He will give you a key to one of the metal cabinets located on each floor.<br \/>\nThis will then be yours for the next two months and your subscription can be renewed as often as you like.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"node\/16539\">Remember to see our step-by-step photo gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>3 – Books, books, books<\/h2>\n<p>But where are the books? They aren\u2019t exactly piled in front of you at first sight, although two thirds of the entire building is actually devoted to a library storehouse.<br \/>\nHowever, right behind the lockers on each floor there’s a selection of works for the larger fields of study, while both the 1st and 2nd floor offer you endless racks of reference books and dictionaries.<br \/>\nAnd if you need a specific book, check <a href=\"http:\/\/rex.kb.dk\/\">the REX search engine<\/a> through one of the library\u2019s free-to-use computers. This will offer you a quick service of maximum 24 hours\u2019 waiting time, if you reserve a book which isn’t already on loan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"node\/16539\">We kindly remind you to see our step-by-step photo gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>4 – Levels of silence<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve found your reading material, you can now choose how much silence you need for concentration.<br \/>\nDo you want to chat with your friends while sorting out the text? Head to the caf\u00e9 and sitting area at the bottom floor. Do you just need to screen off the occasional chatter? Then the semi-silenced working area on the 1st floor will do nicely for you. Need total silence? Top floor.<br \/>\nThe Humanities Library even has a special reading room on the 2nd floor, if you need to close out the last bits of possible disturbance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"node\/16539\">Surely you’ve seen our step-by-step photo gallery by now.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>5 – Reading racks and tablets<\/h2>\n<p>After a couple of lines of text, perhaps you\u2019ll feel a bit tense in the neck area already.<br \/>\nSo why not keep your chin up with a so-called reading rack? They\u2019re found right by the information desk on the bottom floor, and you borrow these as you would any ordinary book; that is, through the self-service check-out-system next to the library\u2019s entrance doors.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re more used to reading on a tablet or iPad, at the moment there’s a couple of these on display and at your free disposal just in front of the caf\u00e9 area on the bottom floor. After this exhibition closes, you can still borrow e-book-readers by searching for “ebogsl\u00e6ser” on <a href=\"http:\/\/rex.kb.dk\/\">REX<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"node\/16539\">Don’t go without seeing our step-by-step photo gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>6 – It’s all in the mainframe<\/h2>\n<p>Need a digital book? Just log on to the Royal Library’s website and go to their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kb.dk\/en\/materialer\/e-ressourcer\/index.html%20\">page of electronic resources<\/a>, where you will find heaps of different articles, dictionaries, e-books etc. for your perusal.<br \/>\nNeed to make a print or a copy? Simply go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kb.dk\/en\/kub\/campusbib\/it\/kopikortet.html%20\">printing and copying page<\/a>, where you can top up money on your digital printing card by following a link to your account.<br \/>\nOnce there’s money on your card, print your document on one of the computers, then go to one of the small printing niches on either floor. Here like everywhere you punch in your personal data and press \u201cpull print\u201d or \u201ccopying\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"node\/16539\">Go on, you know you want to see our step-by-step photo gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>7 – And by the end of the day<\/h2>\n<p>You won\u2019t believe it, but the library has something to offer you, even when you\u2019re all worn out from poring over your books all day.<br \/>\nGo to the lounge with the couches behind the printer on the 1st floor, keep to your right, and there at your service you\u2019ll find \u2013 a massage chair!<br \/>\nType in a routine for your mechanical masseuse to follow and then buzz your last bits of tension away after a well-spent day at the Humanities Library.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"node\/16539\">This is your last chance to see our step-by-step photo gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Useful links:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/login.kb.dk\/kbuser\/regguide?KB_FORM_TYPE=DK&info=yes&pref_lang=en_US\">1 – Registration form<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rex.kb.dk\/primo_library\/libweb\/action\/search.do?dscnt=0&scp.scps=scope%3A%28HUMPRIMO%29&frbg=&tab=default_tab&dstmp=1348757228591&srt=rank&ct=search&mode=Basic&dum=true&vl(526709617UI1)=all_items&tb=t&indx=1&vl(1UIStartWith0)=contains&vl(freeText0)=&fn=search&vid=KGL&vl(468199667UI0)=any\">2 – Rex, book retrieval system<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kb.dk\/en\/materialer\/e-ressourcer\/index.html%20\">3 – Electronic resources on kb.dk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kb.dk\/en\/kub\/campusbib\/it\/kopikortet.html%20\">4 – Payment for printing and scanning<\/a><\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay in the know about news and events happening in Copenhagen by <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">signing up for the University Post\u2019s weekly newsletter here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":44,"name":"Campus","slug":"campus","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":44,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1547,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11493,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/humanitiesgoogle_0-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35433,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15550\/revisions\/35433"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
