Architecture, Civil Engineering & Geomatics, Life Sciences, Education, Social Work
The Muttenz Campus library is a university library which is also open to the public and provides technical literature for the Schools of Architecture, Civil Engineering & Geomatics, Life Sciences, Education, and Social Work. The library is provided for the use of members of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, teachers from the region, and the public.
The library provides technical literature for the FHNW Schools domiciled on the Muttenz Campus (Architecture, Civil Engineering & Geomatics; Life Sciences; Education; Social Work). It offers media such as technical/specialist books, journals, teaching aids and reference works, as well as daily newspapers, videos, picture books and children/young people's literature (fiction and non-fiction).
In addition to the physical stock, it offers a wide range of electronic resources (e-books, e-journals, databases).
For on-site use of the library we provide workspaces, research stations, a photocopier, a book scanner and one-to-one help/advice by our staff.
If you already hold a library card from another library you can use that card. Your user card is valid at our library, too. When you register for swisscovery and the services of SLSP you can link your ID number to your account yourself.
Interlending Interlending is a chargeable service provided for members of the FHNW and external users. Its purpose is to obtain media for loan that cannot be ordered via swisscovery.
