Loan period and renewals
Loan period
Books, journal volumes, CDs: 4 weeks, 4 renewals of 2 weeks each provided the item has not been reserved.
The loan period begins when you collect your media. You can keep an eye on the due date by checking your library account or looking at the issue slip you received when you borrowed the item.
Renew the loan period
You may renew the loan period up to 4 times for 2 weeks each time provided no other user has reserved the item in question.
The earliest possible date for renewal: 5 days before the date the item is due back
- Log in to your library account.
- Click on the menu item „Loans”.
- If a renewal is currently possible you will see the link "Renewal possible" next to the title.
- Click on this link or select the option "Renew account" below the list.
If you have entered an e-mail address in your library account, you will receive an e-mail reminder before the loan period expires. Please note that the University Library cannot guarantee delivery of this reminder mail (your inbox could be full or the mail end up in your spam folder). We ask you therefore to regularly check your library account to see when your media are due for return.
