New to the library? Here is what you need to know
Welcome to the library at CBS. Here is a quick overview to help you get started – especially if you have not used the library before.
Library card and PIN for borrowing books
As a CBS student, you are already registered as a library user. You can log in to Libsearch with your CBS username and password.
If you want to borrow physical books using the self-service machines, you need a PIN. You create it yourself once you are logged in:
- In Libsearch, go to “Update PIN and login details” and choose a four-digit code.
Curriculum books
In the Course Collection on the ground floor, you will find one copy of every book on your curriculum.
You cannot take these copies home, but you are welcome to use them in the library.
Many curriculum books are also available as e-books that you can read on your computer or tablet.
Your reading lists are in CBS Canvas and at Academic Books.
Once you know what you need, search for it in Libsearch.
Use the library online
A large part of the library’s resources is digital, and you can access most of it from home with your CBS login.
Some examples of what you'll find:
- e-books and articles
- market reports and financial statements
- statistics, legal sources and reference works
