Workspace reservation
Workspaces are available at all the University Library's locations. Some of these workspaces can be reserved for members of the LMU.
In the Subject Libraries some workspaces can be reserved for members of the respective faculties – in the Fachbibliothek Rechtswissenschaft for students of the Law Faculty, for instance, or in the Fachbibliothek Philologicum for students of the Faculty of Languages and Literature. Workspaces in the General Reading Room can be reserved for all LMU members, regardless of faculty.
You can also access all locations without first making a reservation. In every library numerous workspaces are available for which you do not need a reservation.
How to make a reservation
- Open the reservation system, for example by clicking on the appropriate blue button in the right-hand service column.
- You will be directed to the LMU login page. Log in using your LMU user ID.
- Select your faculty (called a "Community" in the reservation system) from the list on the left (or at the bottom if you are using a smartphone).
- Choose the desired day, time-slot and workspace.
- Review the details and save your entry.
- To claim your reserved workspace you will first need to check in. 15 minutes before your reserved time-slot begins, you will receive an e-mail to your LMU mail address, containing a check-in link. If you do not check in, your reservation will be cancelled 30 minutes after the start of the reserved time-slot.
