Under Information for New Users you will find some basic information about our library, its locations and holdings, about searching literature and other media, as well as about the conditions of use.
Registration for members of Potsdam University is free.
Members of the University (i.e. researchers, lecturers) can appoint up to four persons who can borrow and check out books in the name of the library card holder. Please use the corresponding form: Erteilung der Abholberechtigung.
If you want to use one library account for more than one person (e.g. for research groups) special terms of use apply - all of which you will find in the corresponding application form: Antrag und Merkblatt Korporativnutzung.
More information on borrowing deadlines and conditions you will find under Borrowing and Returning.
Please note that media from the textbook collection can only be borrowed by students of Potsdam University.
Special due dates are possible for researchers and instructors at the University of Potsdam.
Should you require a book or other media for a longer period, please talk to us at the information desk.

Please note that special deadlines for researchers and instructors may be reduced to regular deadlines if other users need the medium too.
