Reservation of a workstation in advance

At the request of the students, a compulsory online workplace reservation system has been set up in the course of the extended opening hours. Users are asked to make a reservation for an individual workstation via a reservation system. Reservations for individual workstations are possible from now on. Depending on availability, they can be made at short notice for the current day and up to eight days in advance.

More services to come

It is planned to resume the self-access to books from the open-access sections of the first, second and third segments, presumably from Monday, August 24. This applies to both lending and working with books from the reference collection. "We are currently implementing comprehensive hygiene and safety preparations so that we can make an area of several thousand square metres on two floors accessible under corona conditions," explains Dr. Silke Glitsch, Head of the Central Library's Department for User Services.
