Stack Orders
Items marked as “for order” in the catalog are in the stack and can be ordered via the catalog. We will retrieve your ordered items from our stack. You will receive an email as soon as the items are ready for you.
You can pick up items with the status “available” from the shelves yourself for borrowing.
Branch Orders
You can order books from the following branches online via the catalog and pick them up at the selected library:
- Main Library (HB)
- Science and Technology Branch Library (TNZB)
- Economics and Social Sciences Branch Library (WSZB)
- Educational Science Branch Library (EZB)
You will receive an email as soon as the book is ready for you. Please pick up the books as soon as possible.
Please note: Books must be returned to the same location where they were borrowed!

How to get the literature I found in the catalog?
Each result in the catalog shows the options available for borrowing and ordering. The most important options are:
- Available on site / available in the departmental library:
These are items that you can pick up from the shelves yourself. After picking them up, you can check them out.
- For order / for order via the branch library delivery service:
These are items that are stored in stacks or at other locations. To obtain these items, you must first order them. After a certain amount of time, they will be ready for you to pick up at the location you chose. Please see the notes regarding branch orders. - Not for loan:
These are materials that must be present at the library at all times and cannot be borrowed. These materials can only be read in the reading room. You may be able to copy some pages out of them if you would like to.
