Due to the relocation of our external warehouse the books and doctoral dissertations stored there, as well as the entire stock of the library's periodicals, will be unavailable until the beginning of January 2025. Many of our books are still available for loan and current literature can be found on the open shelves.

Scanning, digitalization

Self-service scanning

You can digitalize documents in a self-service manner, due to the special book scanners. Using the scanners, up to 30 pages per minute can be scanned without the need to stretch the books on a glass plate, thus saving the spine. The software automatically straightens the pages after laser scanning. The device enables digitisation of documents up to A3 size and has a character recognition function so that scanned content can be saved not only as images but also as editable text.

There are currently two scanners available to our visitors, which can be used free of charge in 1-hour units.

You can only order a digital copy from the book stock, the service is subject to a fee, and can only be used with a valid reading card.
