KI 2594 Student information - reading lists
(updated )
Starting from the spring semester of 2026, UiB will replace the Literature Kiosk with excerpts available directly in the reading lists in Leganto. The excerpts will now be freely available as PDFs in the reading lists.
You get access to the list from the course in Mitt UiB via your mobile, tablet or laptop/stationary machine.
The reading lists will usually be published on July 1 for the fall semester, and December 1 for the spring semester. You can also find new and old reading lists on the course pages at uib.no.
In some cases students cannot access the reading list even if it is published. Most likely, this is caused by issues with your profile in the library system. If this is the case, please notify The Leganto Team. In the meantime, you can find the list on the course page at uib.no (which is open to all).
Access to the study literature
As a student, you are responsible for acquiring your own literature, but some copies of books and a lot of digital content will be available via the University of Bergen Library. To access the subscription resources from the lists (i.e. ebooks and digital articles), you need to connect to the UiB network via VPN (KI 0706). If you are using a laptop and Eduroam on campus, you will automatically have access to some resources, but not all. By using a desktop computer on campus, you will get access to all of our resources.
If a link is broken or missing, please check this before you report it as broken to the The Leganto Team:
- Are you connected to the UiB network? If not, please connect to it via VPN (KI 0706).
- Is the reference digitally available? Please check whether it actually has a link, or if there is any access information in a 'Student note'.
Access to digitized excerpts
Articles and book chapters that we do not have electronic access to (through subscriptions or open access), can usually be digitized and made accessible as PDFs in the reading list. These citations are tagged with 'Digitized excerpt'. If you can't find a PDF in the citation, please contact the digitization staff.
Please note that the files must be downloaded before the end of the semester (i.e. January 31 for the fall semester and July 31 for the spring semester). This is dictated by UiB's agreement with Kopinor. Students can access and use files only for courses in which they are registered, and sharing files with others is not permitted.
Practical information
If you would like to have the reading list in another format, eg. Word, PDF or EndNote, you can export the list, or a section (KI 2579).
If you have any questions, please contact The Leganto Team
