These are the main service restrictions during the changeover phase:
- No interlibrary loan of books from 03.07. – 05.09.2023.
- In the Main Library, Department of Human Sciences, HF Library Remedial Education and Rehabilitation as well as in the Libraries of Management, Sociology, and Economics - from the end of August until 05.09.2023 - you cannot:
- borrow, renew or return any media,
- order or reserve media,
- access your library account,
- create a library card or update your personal data,
- pay any fees at the cash machine.
- Any existing reservations from the old system will be deleted.
These restrictions fall exactly in the time of the term paper preparation. Plan ahead!
