Loan Service
The usage and borrowing service are free. You need a student id-card or a library id-card for borrowing.

Students can use the library with their student card. Student card = user card
University members and students can also use the electronic services of the library outside the university.
To do so, they need to install a VPN access on their private computer and adjust the proxy settings of their browser. Instructions can be found on the webpage of the Central IT Service: ZID-Infrastuktur-VPN-Zugang.
