As a student or employee at Aarhus University or Aarhus University Hospital, you can obtain remote/home access to the electronic resources subscribed to by the Royal Danish Library / AU Library.

Remote access means that you can access electronic articles, journals, e‑books, databases, and more from any computer you use — both from home and, for example, while staying abroad.

To gain access — including remote access — to our electronic resources, you must be registered as a user at the Royal Danish Library.

Students and staff at Aarhus University

• Once you are registered as a user, you must log in to our library system to access our electronic resources. This applies even when you are on Campus, connected to the Eduroam wireless network, or using a VPN connection.
• Login to the library system takes place via WAYF when you encounter the login page on library.au.dk or soeg.kb.dk.

Staff at Aarhus University Hospital

You can log in to remote access as follows:

• When you register as a user, you must be in Citrix.
• You can then log in in two ways:
  • Inside Citrix: Use one of these apps: “AU Library – E‑journals etc.” or “AU Library – PubMed”, or start at library.au.dk. Choose WAYF > Region Midtjylland when prompted to log in.
    To retain access, it is important that you log in via Citrix every three months.
  • Outside Citrix: Go to the library’s login page and log in with your email and password.
• Find more information about:
  • User registration (in Danish)
  • How to access (in Danish)

Remote access is strictly personal and may only be used for personal study and research purposes. Commercial use of data, systematic downloading of large amounts of data (including entire books or entire journal issues), and systematic storage of data are strictly prohibited.

It is also prohibited to share your user ID and password (PIN code) with others or to use remote access in connection with another workplace. If the library or the data provider detects misuse, access will be closed for the individual concerned. All traffic related to remote access is logged both by the data provider and by the library.

• If you are using a work computer, you may experience problems with remote access to AU Library’s electronic resources. This is often due to a firewall installed by your company/organization that blocks the download of articles from AU Library.

  In such cases, we encourage you to use your private computer to download articles or speak with your organization’s IT department about opening the two ports that the company’s network does not currently allow access to.
