    Welcome to FAU Library

    Get off to a successful start to the semester. The university library provides you with important information about its services:

    Library for Freshers

    Finding resources – quick and easy

    FAUcard also works as library card

    The FAUcard is also your library card for the University Library. Before you can borrow books using your ‘UB ID’ you have to activate the library function in the IDM portal.

    Online library training

    For booking a place for a library training session via Zoom or for an in-person library tour: https://ub.fau.de/en/studying/advice-and-training/training/.

    E-Tutorials on YouTube

    These short videos are designed to show you how to find books and journals as hardcopies and in electronic form, navigate subject-specific databases or place inter-library loan requests. You can find all our e-tutorials on the library’s YouTube channel. We will be releasing more videos in the near future and would welcome your suggestions and feedback.

    Learning at the library

    Where can I study?

    Under current regulations at FAU, study and work stations can be provided in all libraries. In situations where many people congregate in enclosed spaces, the wearing of a protective medical mask is still recommended.
    If you would like to plan ahead for your stay at the library, you may use the seat booking and reservation system “RSVP“ for booking study spaces in reading room 3 in the Main Library and on the upper floor of the Science and Technology Branch Library.
