Get Literature Sent Home
Students attending online or session-based study programmes who do not live near the university library can order literature and have it sent to their home by post.
To order material, follow these steps:
- Find the material you want to order in Oria
- Click the blue “Request” button
- Under pickup location, find “Personal Delivery"
- Select “Home Address”
- Make sure your address registered in StudentWeb is correct
- If you want the shipment sent to an alternative address, inform us in the comments field
Note: The university library does not send books to addresses outside Norway. If you only need a single chapter, it can be scanned and sent to you by email. You can request this service in the comments field when ordering books in Oria. In accordance with the Kopinor agreement, the number of pages sent must not exceed 15% of the book’s total page count.
Return of Books
Students who receive literature by post must arrange the return themselves and cover any postage costs.
If you will not be visiting one of our campuses before the due date, you can return the books via Posten.
Please do not use PostNord, as we are unable to collect parcels from parcel lockers or PostNord pickup points.
Our postal addresses can be found under the “Our Libraries” tab at nord.no/library.
Note: Use the postal address for shipping—not the visiting address.
You may also ask your local public library or another university/college library to send the book on your behalf. Please note that you, as the borrower, are responsible for the shipment until the book has been received by us.
If you have borrowed books from several of our campus libraries, you may return them all to one library.
Pick up literature during a session
Students attending session-based programmes can order books and arrange to collect them while attending sessions on campus.
When using this service, you must collect the material within five working days after it has been placed on the hold shelf.
Note: This service is only available to students who travel long distances to campus. Please place your order at least two days before arrival to ensure staff have time to process it.
To order material, follow these steps:
- Find the material you want in Oria and click “Request”
- Choose the library at the campus where you will attend the session as the pickup location
- Add a comment stating that you will collect the material during your session
