The library in winter semester

Due to time constraints this translation was automated

Back on Campus is the motto of the winter semester 2021/2022 - also at the Communication, Information, Media Center (KIM). The library will once again be open around the clock (24/7) from November 2, 2021, with access to the book areas and workstations. Instead of the current 700, all 1,700 workstations will again be available, with masks required at the workstation. Students will no longer need to reserve a workstation in advance.

A check-in at the library entrance will ensure contact tracking: Simply register with your student ID (for students) or at the Circulation Service Desk (for University employees and External Library Users). When leaving the library, check-out is done in the same way.

External library users will continue to register with KIM Counseling so they can enter campus.

The library will also once again be a meeting place, with group workstations and the opening of the Bib Café. Digital services, such as PC pools, printers and scanners, and the digital Bookshelf will also be accessible again.

On-site service hours for KIM Counseling and the Media Library will be adjusted to accommodate expanded operations.

ou can expect the following library service enhancements starting 2 November 2021:

  • 24/7 operation in the main library (reduced in the N library).
  • Provision of 1,700 workstations (instead of the current 700), with mandatory masks at the workstation
