Borrowing

The media ordered via interlibrary loan are available for the duration of the loan period, already booked for you in the self-collection area.

  • The information in your user account is decisive for borrowing (e.g. loan period).
  • Old stock and special materials are only issued for use in the rooms of the Central Library.
  • The following library documents are included with each item borrowed:
    • Paper strips with the conditions of use for the borrowed item: e.g. cannot be renewed, cannot be copied, use only on the premises of the Central Library, etc.
    • Accompanying letter from the lending library: This is necessary for internal processing by the libraries (e.g. the barcode is essential for the return booking).
  • Please be sure to leave these documents in the book until it is returned.
