Checkouts, Renewals & Returns
Loans
Media items can be checked out using the self-checkout kiosks located across from the service counter.
Here’s how to do it:
- Select the desired option
- Scan the barcode on your student ID or library card
- Enter your password (the default password is your 10-digit date of birth: dd.mm.yyyy)
- Place the books on the designated surface (you can place up to 3 books at a time)
- Once all books have been scanned, complete the process by selecting "Done"
- You can choose whether or not to print a receipt


Extensions
You can renew the loan period for borrowed items on your own through your library account. Renewals can only be made a few days before the due date. Please check afterward to make sure a new due date is displayed!
When renewals are not possible:
- If books have already been renewed 5 times
- If books have been reserved by other users
Returns
Please return borrowed items to the media return box in the entrance area of the Fruchtkasten. When returning interlibrary loan books, please make sure the interlibrary loan slip remains inside the book.
Late returns will result in overdue fines, which will be automatically charged to your library account. You can view the amount of the fines on your library account by clicking “View Fines.”

Please note:
Books from the interlibrary loan service and the self-service kiosks are available at the counter only during service hours!
