Multimedia workstations

The following are currently available to you free of charge

  • on the entrance level of the UB (near the "Information Centre")
    2 multimedia PCs with connected scanner

    We ask for your understanding that these PC workstations are primarily intended for working with CD-ROMs, scanning books from the UB's holdings or for printing out existing files and must be released for use for such purposes at short notice. PC workstations are available in the IMT pool rooms for working on homework or other study assignments.

WLAN

The library is equipped with access points for the university wireless network maintained by the Centre for Information and Media Technologies (IMT), so that it is possible to receive and send information via the Internet using private notebooks throughout the library.

The prerequisite for an internet connection is that the notebooks are equipped with a wireless LAN card (W-LAN) and an account exists (registration with the IMT).

Guests of the university can also use the WLAN, provided they can authenticate themselves via EDUROAM at the computer centre of their home university.

Information on this can be found on the IMT website at: https: //imt.uni-paderborn.de/wlan-zugang/.

If, contrary to expectations, problems occur with the wireless network (no connection or too slow a connection), the library IT department is available for assistance. Occasionally, the problem is forwarded from there to the IMT.

In many zones of the library it is possible to connect notebooks to the library's power supply.

Advice on the wireless network is provided by the "Notebook Café" team (I 0.401). For more information, see: http: //nbc.uni-paderborn.de.

Reading spaces intended for women

In order to enable safe working also in the late evening hours, 2 reading workstations for women are provided in the entrance area of the library near the information centre. These are intended for women in the evenings from 8 p.m. or must be released for their use.

In addition, it is possible to borrow a so-called body alarm device at the local circulation desk by leaving a library card. This can be easily activated in case of danger and then triggers a loud alarm.

Rara reading place

In the field of the Information Centre, works worthy of special protection can be consulted under supervision and in compliance with special conditions. This applies both to works from the UB's collection and to those borrowed from other libraries via interlibrary loan.

This workstation is located in the field of the Information Centre (BI1.102). It can be used Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and by appointment with the staff of the Information Centre and Specialist Libraries (phone: +49 5251 60-2017 - e-mail: information@ub.uni-paderborn.de).

Individual workrooms

11 individual study rooms are available to authorised users of the UB who are members of Paderborn University, are writing a doctoral dissertation or habilitation thesis and do not have their own workspace at the university on level 2 in building I for a maximum period of 6 months.

The terms of use are set out in the Regulations for the Use of the Individual Study Rooms of the Paderborn University Library are laid down.

The use has to be applied for via an application form .

The allocation of an individual study room takes place in the order of the application.

Information can be obtained from the staff of the Information Centre and Specialist Libraries.

Eltern-Kind-Raum

Für hochschulangehörige Eltern ist der Gruppenarbeitsraum auf der Ebene 4 (BI4.099) (auch) als Eltern-Kind-Raum ausgestattet. Für die Eltern stehen Arbeitstische mit Stromanschluss für Notebooks zur Verfügung und für die Kinder gibt es Sitzgelegenheiten, Bücher und Spielzeug.

Der Raum ist unverschlossen und kann zu den kompletten Öffnungszeiten der Bibliothek von allen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern der Bibliothek als Gruppenarbeitsraum genutzt werden. Im Bedarfsfall haben Eltern und Kinder Vorrang.

Die Nutzung des Eltern-Kind-Raumes erfolgt in eigener Verantwortung, wobei die Aufsichtspflicht für die Kinder bei den betreuenden Elternteilen liegt. Aus diesem Grund bitten wir auch, Kinder nicht unbeaufsichtigt im Eltern-Kind-Raum zu lassen.

Der Eltern-Kind-Raum darf nicht genutzt werden, wenn das zu betreuende Kind an einer ansteckenden Krankheit - wie z.B. Masern, Mumps, Windpocken - erkrankt ist. Auch bei stark fiebrigen Erkrankungen darf der Raum nicht genutzt werden.

Wir bitten alle Eltern, die den Eltern-Kind-Raum nutzen, sorgsam und pfleglich mit Mobiliar und Spielzeug umzugehen und benutzte Gegenstände beim Verlassen des Raumes wieder wegzuräumen. Es dürfen keine Spielsachen oder Gegenstände aus dem Eltern-Kind-Raum mitgenommen oder ausgeliehen werden.

Für Personenschäden übernimmt die Universität keine Haftung. Bei schuldhaften Verstößen, die eine Beschädigung des Eltern-Kind-Raumes oder dessen Einrichtungsgegenstände verursachen bzw. Personenschäden zur Folge haben, haften die betreffenden Personen für entstandene Schäden.

Bei Fragen und Anregungen zum Eltern-Kind-Raum wenden Sie sich bitte an das Informationszentrum.

Bitte wenden Sie sich auch bei entstandenen Schäden an das Informationszentrum..

Vielen Dank!
