How to search using Oria

Oria is our search engine. It enables you to search the library’s collections of books, articles, periodicals, digital resources, etc.

If you know which book or author you are looking for, enter the details in the search field and press “Søk” (search).

How do I find books or articles on a specific topic?

If you only know the topic you are looking for, you can follow this guide:

  • Make a list of words you think describe your subject.
  • Translate the words into English.
  • Find synonyms for your words.
  • Use the words to search in Oria or in the databases we subscribe to.
  • Search numerous times using different combinations of your words.

Some of the databases we subscribe to are not accessible via Oria.
