This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

In the catalog of the University Library you will find the complete holdings of all FAU libraries, but also the contents of databases and other electronic media licensed by the library as well as various free data sources and the stock of libraries that are included in the Bavarian Union Catalogue B3Kat.
The catalog shows the availability of the media, refers to the full texts and allows ordering and reserving media. The access to your library account is integrated into the catalog, allowing you to renew your borrowed media.

Why Is it Necessary to Select a Pick-up Location?

This is the only way to ensure your orders and reservations are assigned correctly, and that the media status is displayed correctly.

What Should You Do If the Catalogue Does Not Launch?

The catalog is unavailable from 02:30 to 04:00 Monday to Friday, and from 02:30 to 07:00 on Wednesdays, due to routine maintenance.
