  • On entry, all users get a ticket that is to be handed over on leaving – the vacated work station may now be used by somebody else.
  • The ticket must be displayed prominently at the chosen work station. It works like a reservation when briefly leaving the work station. On leaving the library, it must be returned to the return box placed at the exit.
  • During your stay, we recommend to wash your hands regularly (soap and disinfectant are available in all sanitary facilities).
  • Safety distance of at least 1 metre must be complied with everywhere in the University Library.
  • 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 and tissues 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.
  • Please pay attention to the markings on the floor at the loan desk.
  • Please follow instructions by library staff at all times.

  • Media can be returned again at any time, but exclusively via the return kiosk outside the entrance to the library.
