Digital Culture

Main content

The library provides access to a wide range of books, papers, journal articles and other document types. These can easily be found by searching the discovery tool Oria. The search result includes both print and electronic media. It is also important to use other databases, to find updated, relevant information. You have access to all this also when you are off campus. If you have questions, send an e-mail to your librarian.

 

Academic writing


Writing is a necessary part of the study, and an important way to learn. What is the difference between a good and a bad paper? Part of the answer is that you must read and use literature to be able to write a good thesis. The library's collections and databases are there for you.

Library collections

By searching the library catalog Oria.no you find both e-books and paper books. After a search, you can choose only fulltext documents.

At the Art and humanities library you'll find the most important literature in digital culture, including the syllabus. The books in the library are arranged by disciplin, so books that are within the same disciplin stand together on the shelf. Within the disciplin books about the same subject are co-located. Each book has a number written on the back that determines where the book is placed on the library shelf. This is a so called Dewey number and the first numbers indicate the disciplin, while the next says something about the topic. You can also search in Oria on Dewey number, combined with words. You will also find e-books.
