In Summon@BTH you can find your course literature. Summon is also the library gateway to other print books and to all electronic articles, books, conferences, and theses available in the databases we subscribe to. You, as a student, get access to full texts of books and articles, which means that you can read the whole text online. You will find the Summon@BTH search box at the library web site.

If you don’t have access to the BTH network, remember to log in to Summon with your student account (abcd01@student.bth.se) to get access to the full texts that the BTH library subscribes to.
