Services & Facilities
Library
The School of Education library at Stakkahlíð provides general library services all year round, with the exception of being closed for 2-3 weeks in July. There, as well as in the library collection of the Centre for Sport and Health Sciences at Laugarvatn, are roughly 94,000 books, journals and other materials in the fields of pedagogy and education sciences. The vast majority are registered in Gegnir, the national online library database. The library includes a special teaching materials collection for preschool and primary school levels, where students are advised on teaching materials and methods in preparation for practica. The project managers of practica receive teaching students from home schools there, which collaborate with the School of Education. Information services and assistance with reference searching are provided in the library, and library and reference training is included as part of an introductory course at the beginning of programmes.
The library collaborates closely with the National and University Library, which is the primary library of the University of Iceland.
