Order books from the closed stacks

To borrow media from the closed stacks, you need to order them in the library catalog using the "order" function. You need a User ID and your password.

The respective provisioning time of the ordered medium will be provided in the display after completion of the order. In general it takes 1 - 3 working days after ordering.

The ordered media will be reserved for you for 5 opening days. If they are not picked up during this period, we put them back into the magazine.
