CBS Li­brary & Aca­de­mic Ser­vi­ces

There are plenty of reasons to use the library – not just the physical spaces but everything we offer online. Read today’s newspaper from home, search for articles, e-books, market reports and company information whenever it suits you, even in the middle of the night. Meet other students and avoid distractions at home. And talk to a librarian if you are unsure about anything – we are here to help you move forward.

  • Access to knowledge you will not find through Google
  • Personal support for finding the best sources
  • Curriculum literature gathered in one place
  • A great study environment
  • Open around the clock (for CBS students and employees with access cards)

Access to knowledge you cannot get from Google

When you search through the library, you get access to reliable resources selected to match CBS’ programmes and research areas.

In the beginning, you will focus mainly on curriculum literature, but before long, you will need to broaden your sources to include articles, reports or data to strengthen your arguments and give you a solid academic foundation. All of that is just waiting for you to take advantage.

Not sure where to start?

Help find­ing the right sources

Our lib­rar­i­ans are happy to help you with lit­er­at­ure searches, choos­ing data­bases and build­ing ef­fect­ive search strategies. With many years of ex­per­i­ence, they can guide you quickly in the right dir­ec­tion.

You can also sign up for courses on lit­er­at­ure search­ing, com­pany in­form­a­tion or Mendeley if you want to strengthen your aca­dem­ic toolkit.

Read the books at the lib­rary

We do not have class sets of books, but you will find all cur­riculum books col­lec­ted in the Course Col­lec­tion on the ground floor at Sol­b­jerg Plads. You can quickly scan a chapter or read what you need be­fore your next lec­ture.

Want to check what we have? Search in Lib­search – the lib­rary’s own sys­tem that in­cludes our phys­ic­al books, e-books and art­icles. It is an easy way to save money and make sure you have the right ma­ter­i­al.

Access around the clock

We know that student life does not always follow office hours.

As a CBS student, you can get 24/7 access to the library at Solbjerg Plads. You just need to activate your student card at the Campus Desk.

Naturally, all online resources are available anytime: statistics, market reports, key figures, financial statements, e-books and articles. All of it is accessible with your CBS login.

Cozy and styl­ish study en­vir­on­ment

Many stu­dents use the lib­rary as a place to fo­cus, meet friends and feel the study en­vir­on­ment around them. It brings en­ergy and of­ten mo­tiv­ates you to give just a little more.

As a CBS stu­dent, you can book study seats and group rooms at Dal­gas Have, H. V. Nyholms Vej and Sol­b­jerg Plads. It is ideal when you want to avoid dis­trac­tions or simply prefer work­ing in a space with calm sur­round­ings and an aca­dem­ic at­mo­sphere.
