Become a library user

Aalborg University Library is a state-owned research library and all our branches are open to the public. Although the library's primary task is to support research and teaching at Aalborg University, all permanent residents of Denmark can become users.

As a user at Aalborg University Library, you can borrow, request and pick up printed books and journals from all our branches.

PLEASE NOTE that online access to purchased electronic resources only includes the group of employees and students at Aalborg University. However, most of the resources can be used for private use by so-called "walk-in use" (use on site) at our branches; however, not when using your own IT equipment.

AAU staff

All AAU staff with a valid AAU-Username are automatically granted a library user account. Your account allows you to log into Primo, where you can request printed material and get online access to our electronic resources. We recommend all AAU staff to order an AAUcard, which will serve as your library card. Once you activate the card and create a pin code, you are set up to use the library's self-service machines for checkout and return.

AAU staff without an AAUcard cannot immediately use our self-service machines, nor can they sign up for our department delivery service. You cannot use guest access cards in the library.

If you have any questions regarding user registration, please contact the library via our website.
