University Library

Library account

When you register for a library card we open your library account.

Which data will be stored?

  1. Your personal data such as name, address, mailing address, user status

  2. Media-related data such as borrowing date, reservations, fees and fines, reminders

What happens with the data?

The data are used for the internal administration in connection with lending and borrowing media from Tubingen University Library. The data will be deleted at the earliest possible moment:

  • media-related data after the item has been returned
  • records of fees and fines after payment
  • personal data after de-registration / exmatriculation

 

Printout of your stored personal data

You can get a printout of your personal data we currently have on record. Please bring your library card and ask for the printout at the main issue desk. The printout will be sent to you by post.
