Service

HSB for external users

As a public institution, our academic library is available free of charge not only to members of the university, but also to all other interested parties, students from other institutions, pupils and alumni.

The prerequisites are registration and acceptance of the rules of use.

The registration is completed by entering personal information into the registration form. After submitting the form, the registered user will receive a confirmation email containing a link to activate. The library team will contact the user once the account is activated and will then issue the personal library card. This card can also be picked up at a later date at the respective local library.

Guided tour of the library

A guided tour of the libraries offers the opportunity to find out about the collections and services. The libraries can be visited on request to get an overview of the services on offer.
