Universitätsbibliothek.Newsletter

As of September 21st 2020 the University Library is able to register visitors‘ contact details using the thoska. We ask all library visitors to register their entry and exit at the provided terminal. Please make especially sure to register your exit so as to avoid blocking available workspaces. Filling in the contact form is no longer necessary. This procedure will become available to guest visitors only gradually; guests whose thoska is not yet registered for the procedure are requested to pick up a temporary card from the circulation desk and to fill in a contact form. As this system also serves to count visitors, our website displays the current number of free workspaces in the library.

The moving company and many helpers in the library have put in a lot of work, and all books and journals are available for use again.Shortly before its 50 year anniversary the branch library closed permanently due to renovation work on September 18th 2020. The branch librarians will move into their new offices at Steubenstrasse from September 28th.
