  In case of loss of your student ID card (= library card), please contact the Student Service. If the  service card is lost, contact the HR department.

  Borrowing via the self-check terminals is also possible without a card. To authenticate, use your library user ID.

• External users:

  Please inform us of the loss immediately by phone or e-mail, so that we can block your loan account. You will receive a new ID at the information desk of the library. The fees for the new edition are 20,00 EUR.

  Temporary lending via the lending terminals is also possible without a card. To authenticate, use your library user ID.
