Update: Reopening of the 24-hour library – 03.08.2020

On Monday, August 3^rd 2020 we will re-establish 24-hour access to the library.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to register again!

In order to access the library, you will need to re-register for the 24-hour library:

You can do this online by selecting “My settings” (Meine Einstellungen) in the Campus System and choosing “24-hour library” (24-Stunden-Bibliothek) from the menu.

When re-registering, you will also be asked to indicate your agreement to the following provision:

For the duration of the Corona pandemic, applicable Covid-19 prevention regulations for the use of the 24-hour library must be observed without exception.

Please register at least one day ahead of the first planned use of this service. User accounts are only activated once a day, at midnight.
Wheelchair users are kindly requested to contact our staff at the circulation desk after registration.

During the 24-hour library, the following procedural rules as well as distance and hygiene measures apply:

Before entering the library, please use the disinfectant dispenser (outside the entrance).
Including the PC work stations, there are roughly 130 reading and work stations available.

During your stay, we recommend that you wash your hands regularly and thoroughly (soap and disinfectant solution are available in all sanitary facilities).
A safety distance of at least 2 metres must be complied with everywhere in the University Library.
The 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 solution and tissues are 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.

Only one person at a time is allowed to use the lift.

Thank you for your cooperation.
The team at the University Library is looking forward to your visit!
