Guides and support for students

På svenska

At Campus Helsingborg Library, we offer various forms of support and service for students.

I would like to learn more about:

Reading and writing support

Are you student with a reading disability – due to for example dyslexia, vision impairment or ADHD? If so, you can get help at the library with obtaining adapted course texts, such as talking books.

Talking books are produced by the Swedish Agency for Accessible Media, MTM, and registered in their catalogue, Legimus, where you can search for and download them.

If you use talking books, you also have the right to borrow course texts for four weeks instead of two. Talk to the contact person at the library in order to access this service.

At the library, there is a contact librarian for students with various disabilities. We recommend that you get in touch and schedule an appointment before your first visit.

Also take a look at our talking books guide:

In order to access other support measures, please contact Learning Support. They can provide assistance with taking notes, mentoring and extended exam time. 

Support for students with disabilities at Lund University

All computers at the library are equipped with the following support software:

  • Stava Rex  (spell check program, Swedish)
  • Spell Right (spell check program, English)
  • TorTalk (text-to-speech software)

The film has subtitles. Press the settings icon in the lower right corner and choose Undertexter/Captions > English

Library guides

The subject guides contain important links to both databases and free resources such as material about academic writing and research publication.

Reference management tools

Reference management is important for anyone writing an academic text. Through correct referencing, you recognize the author/s contribution to your understanding. You also give your reader the opportunity to reproduce your research by following the same cited texts. The reference list allows your reader to find your sources.

There are several software programs that can be used to facilitate reference management. For students at Lund University, EndNote is accessible via a campus licence, and we also recommend the freeware Zotero. The software programs function in slightly different ways and you can read more about them in our guide to Reference Management. If you want to install EndNote you can download it from the student portal.

Book a librarian

Are you having trouble finding relevant material? The quickest way of getting into contact with a librarian is to approach the information desk where you can get help right away. You can book an appointment with a librarian either by contacting your subject librarian via your subject guide or via the library email. You can also contact us via our booking form below.
