Registration and Library Card
The library is open to various user groups. Depending on your affiliation, different requirements apply for registration and obtaining a library card.
All enrolled students receive a student ID card, which also serves as a library card. It does not need to be activated; it works automatically. The card remains valid until the student’s studies are completed and the student is officially withdrawn from the university.
The password you use to check out books at the self-checkout kiosks and log in to your library account is your 10-digit date of birth (dd.mm.yyyy).
PHW employees can have a library card issued at the service desk during service hours. To do so, you will need your employee ID card and the completed contact form, which you can pick up at the service desk.
The RWU employee ID card can be used as a library card. To do so, it must be activated before its first use. Please feel free to visit the service desk on the ground floor of the library during our service hours.
Anyone interested can obtain an external library card. To do so, you must present your ID card and fill out a registration form. Registration must be done in person at the service desk during service hours. With your library card, you can borrow books using our self-checkout machines and log in to your library account.
If you lose your card, please contact us at leihstelle@hs-weingarten.de so that your account can be blocked. A fee of 2.50 euros will be charged for a replacement card.
Please note: Minors must also have a parent or guardian sign the contact form!
