In consultation with university management, the University Library will continue to operate in accordance with current procedures until 24 January :

• The online search engine surf@ubk is operating with extended functionality: Books from the Reading Rooms (open access collection, etc.) can be requested and reserved via the search engine surf@ubk.

• Interlibrary lending remains activated. Using the corresponding online form in surf@ubk you can request works held by other libraries. However, processing will depend on whether libraries are able to dispatch their media under the given circumstances.
• Reserved works can be collected from the entrance area of the library once you have received an e-mail confirming that the works are ready for collection.
• Media can also be returned at any time, however, only via the return terminal at the library entrance.
  (Please note that interlibrary loans and other works that cannot be accepted by the terminal must be placed on a specially prepared table near the circulation desk during opening hours.)

We are operating reduced opening hours:

• Monday-Wednesday, Friday: 12 noon to 3 p.m.
  
• Thursday: 3 to 7 p.m. 

When collecting works from the library, we ask you to observe the following hygiene and protective measures:

• The circulation desk area of the library may only be entered one at a time.
• The use of protective face masks is compulsory when entering the university buildings and the library.
• When waiting on the “bridge” to enter the library, please keep your distance as indicated by markings.
• Please present your student ID card at the first counter by holding it up to the glass panel. You will then receive the works you have ordered.

You can find all the relevant information about borrowing media here:

NOTE: Please use this time to make the best possible use of the vast range of digital resources available!

PROXY SERVER: To access the electronic resources (via Surf@ubk, DBIS, etc.), please make sure that the proxy server settings are configured correctly for off-campus use.

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

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!

As usual, we offer students and external users the possibility to take out several open-shelf books for a longer period:

• from Thursday, July 16, 2020
• you can take out up to 6 open-shelf books,
• until Thursday, September 15, 2020 at the latest

on Monday, 04.05.2020, the University Library takes another step towards the restoration of its services for all user groups (AAU members and external users):

• The online search engine surf@ubk will be fully active again on 01.05.2020: it is possible to order and reserve books. As the reading rooms are still closed, a new service is offered: books from the reading rooms (“open shelves” and so on) can also be ordered and reserved via the search engine surf@ubk.
