Opening of reading rooms only in strictest compliance with necessary distance and hygiene measures.

For library users, these are:

  • Before entering the library, please use the disinfectant dispenser (outside entrance).
  • Including the PC work stations, there are roughly 130 reading and work stations available.
  • On entry, all users get a ticket that is to be handed over on leaving – the vacated work station may now be used by somebody else.
  • The ticket must be displayed prominently at the chosen work station. It works like a reservation when briefly leaving the work station. On leaving the library, it must be returned to the return box placed at the exit.
  • During your stay, we recommend to wash your hands regularly (soap and disinfectant are available in all sanitary facilities).
  • Safety distance of at least 1 metre must be complied with everywhere in the University Library.
  • Minimum distance, as obtained by seating arrangements in the study areas must not be changed.
  • Tables and keyboards must be disinfected before use by every user (disinfectant and tissues available in all reading rooms and in the entrance area).
  • Only one person per copy room; only half the book scanners are operating to guarantee minimum distance.
  • Please pay attention to the markings on the floor at the loan desk.
  • Please follow instructions by library staff at all times.

 

Borrowing:

Books from reading rooms (open shelves aso) can no longer be ordered and reserved via the search engine surf@ubk! Now that the reading rooms are open, they ate to be collected there.
