Please enter the library one at a time and follow the paths marked with arrows on the floor and the general rules of distance (at least 1.50 metres). Hand disinfectants are available in the foyer and in the library.

Until further notice, access authorization is limited to members of the faculty and the hospital. Please bring your student card or your staff ID card and show it at the counter. You will then receive an access card and, if necessary, a basket from us (the access card must be returned when leaving the library!)

Regulations for breaks: When you take a break, please leave your access card at the counter together with your library card.

Until further notice, only the reading resp. WLAN workstations and the PC workstations (without using the computers) may be approved. In order to ensure that the distance rules are followed, we will mark which places may be used.

All devices in the print room may be used (black and white printer, multifunction printer, scan station). Please make use of the hand disinfectants provided! Please note that you have to bring your own device (notebook, tablet, ...) in order to print via upload (link Print account on the homepage, instructions are available), as all PCs in the library are not accessible.
