After introducing a new acquisition software in January, we are now replacing our lending software. This replacement is a very complex process. From mid-December, there will be significant restrictions regarding the use of our printed collections.

Once the system change has been successfully completed, unrestricted use should be possible again as of 02/01/2025.

Please also note that all sites will be closed from 23/12 to 01/01. Please refer here for information about the actual opening hours.

➤ Lending

No items can be taken out on loan as of 16/12.

➤ Returns

Borrowed items can be returned between 16/12 and 20/12. The library staff will not be able to check items back in before 02/01 at the earliest. Return receipts cannot be issued. As no reminders are issued during this period, no costs are incurred if the loan period is exceeded. We ask that borrowed items are not returned until after the turn of the year. Our return boxes will remain locked from 21/12 to 02/01.

➤ Reminders

From 11/12 to 12/01 there are no due fees, regardless of the end of the loan period.

➤ Library cards

New library cards cannot be issued as of 16/12. It won't be possible to renew library cards.

➤ Reservations

As of 09/12, reserves cannot be placed on borrowed media.

➤ Renewals

Renewals are not possible as of 16/12.

➤ Interlibrary loan

As of 16/12, books ordered via interlibrary loan can only be used on site (reading, copying, scans). We will inform you by email about the terms of use.
