Requesting books from the closed stacks
Registered library users may request items from the closed stacks in our online catalogue (OPAC) or our discovery system Bibsearch. Items will be delivered from the stacks each day from Monday to Friday at 9am, 11am, 1pm and 3pm. Please place your request 30 minutes or more ahead of a delivery time to be guaranteed delivery by that time. The books and journals will be held for 5 days at the service desk. Items from the open access area and textbook collection may be retrieved directly from the shelves.
Renewing a loan
If you need a book for longer, please renew your loan in your library account in the online catalogue (OPAC) or our discovery system Bibsearch. Be sure to renew items in time. An item can be renewed up to ten times, unless another library patron places a reservation on that copy in the online catalogue (OPAC), in which case you will receive an e-mail. If items are not returned by the due date, the library will raise fees according to the respective regulations (»Gebührenordnung der Universitätsbibliothek der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar« (amendment 1 to the library regulations).
Reserving items
You may place a reservation on a checked out item. Please check availability in the online catalogue (OPAC) or our discovery system Bibsearch. You will receive an e-mail notification when a reserved item becomes available. Your library account must contain a valid e-mail address in order for you to receive notifications. If you do not have an e-mail address, we will notify you by mail and, in accordance with fee regulations (»Gebührenordnung der Universitätsbibliothek der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar« (amendment 1 to the library regulations), raise a reservation fee equal to the postage required.
