Borrowing of Books over the Weekend
Friday 9 a.m. - noon and 1 - 3 p.m. (Return: Monday by noon)
The Institute of Art History has a reference library. However, it is possible to borrow books over the weekend. The Institute relies on its users returning the books on time so that they can be used again at the latest on the next working day. Books from the Semesterapparat cannot be borrowed.
The lending and return of art history books takes place at the reference desk in the Art History Institute (desk in the corridor).
Late Returns
If you do not return books on time, the library director reserves the right to take further steps (e.g. prohibiting you from borrowing books). Late fees may be assessed.
Copier (Room 118)
It is only possible to copy from books to a limited extent.
