Library resources: Media and social science

Oria is the only Norwegian database that contains material from all Norwegian subject libraries, physical and digital.

To open e-books and articles behind paywalls, you have to log in with remote access.

For books that are available in the library, you must search in Oria to find out where the book is located in the library.

The library at Ullandhaug is sorted by Dewey number, and it is this number that shows you where the book is. Dewey numbers are read by first finding the number before the period, then the number after the period, and finally the book is listed alphabetically by the last letters.

• 070 - News and journalism
• 150. - Psychology
• 301 - Sociology
• 808.066 - Academic writing

In the library we have many printed newspapers. In addition, we have digital access to many Norwegian newspapers.

At Oria you get access to the media archive Atekst (Retriever) and the National Library's online library, which can be used to access Norwegian newspapers and articles in full text.

In Oria you will find an overview of which databases are relevant for media and social studies. Some of the databases are openly available, but you need UiS access to use most of them. Use library remote access if you are not on campus.
