Borrowing
You can borrow all items from the library except those marked with a red label; these are non-circulating materials. To borrow items you need a library card. You can check out the items yourself using our self-issuing machines or go to the circulation desk in the entrance hall of the library. Borrowing times are basically identical to the library's opening hours.
Here you will find information on all borrowing conditions for books and media, on loan periods, renewal options, overdue fines and the various locations in the University Library.
If a book or journal is not available in the University Library, you can use interlibrary loan and document delivery.
You will find information on searching the catalogue under the menu item 'Search'.
