How to borrow material

The libraries at Lund University have common lending conditions and a common library catalogue called LUBcat . Students and employees at Lund University use their LU card as a library card. You start by creating an account in LUBcat by selecting Register new account. You then log in with your Student/Lucat account. As a student, you activate the account by selecting your student category and home library. As an employee, you complete the activation of the account at one of our libraries.

• Log into LUBcat

Loan period

The loan period is normally 28 days (14 days for course books), with automatic re-lending if there is no queue. You will receive an email notification when the loan period is about to end. In the unlikely event that this does not work, it is still your responsibility to keep track of the loan period. You can check the return date in LUBcat under Your summery.

Lending conditions

Before you start borrowing you must first read through the lending conditions for libraries at Lund University. They also apply to the Library of the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts.

Special lending conditions for Malmö Art Academy

The art films in the library at Malmö Art Academy are reference copies. You are therefore not allowed to remove them from the library.

Special lending conditions for Malmö Theatre Academy

Students at Malmö Theatre Academy register their loans via a form when the librarian is not present.

The library at Malmö Theatre Academy has a large collection of scripts - both in digital and printed form. All manuscripts are registered in the printed manuscript catalogue in the library. Physical manuscripts are found in the music room next to the library. Students at the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts can access digital manuscripts by emailing the library.
