Library card
The Karolinska Institutet University Library is open to the public.
Anyone who has reached the age of sixteen and is able to produce a Swedish ID or a document confirming that they are registered as an employee/student at a Swedish university may apply for a library card and become a registered customer. Visiting researchers/students are granted a library card during the time they are attached to a Swedish university. Besides an address in Sweden, they must also give an address in their native country.
For further information please see our Library service regulations.
If you lose your library card, or if your card is stolen, you should report it to the library as soon as possible. We will block your card, so it can't be used.
We charge a 25 SEK fee for replacing a library card.
To get a new card, fill out our online form. After you submit the form, you can get your card at the library help desk. Bring identification with you.
After you submit the form, you will be given a temporary barcode you can use to reserve books even before you get your library card.
