INFO 12 - Carrels and group study rooms

1. General

In the University Library there are in total eight rooms for group work and seven carrels provided, and all are equipped with power supply and Internet access for notebooks brought along. Two of the eight group workrooms are equipped with beamers, another group workroom with a smart display. The group workrooms with beamers and the 5 carrels for use for a maximum of 4 weeks must be booked at the Information desk High demand for these rooms means that members of the university (students and staff members) are given priority over other visitors of the library.

     

3. Individual work cabins (carrels)

Carrels are very useful when you have planned to work in the library for a longer period and have looked for an undisturbed permanent workstation. In addition to 5 carrels for use for a maximum of 4 weeks, the UB also offers 2 day carrels that can be used by the hour or day. The day carrels cannot be reserved in advance.

3.1 Booking carrels

Carrels can only be reserved online four weeks with the option of renewal if there is no further booking.

Carrels are preferentially allocated to users who are writing a thesis (dissertation, diploma, master's or bachelor's thesis). Proof of the completion of a thesis must be presented at the time of registration or submitted in good time. The necessary form can be found on our homepage under A-Z : Carrels: Confirmation of completion of a thesis .

You receive the key against signature and the submission of your thoska+ card; thus stating that you accept and recognize the User Rules of the University Library and the User Regulations listed on this information sheet.

The key must be collected within two days after the beginning of the booking period and the person who booked the carrel must have "moved” into; otherwise the reservation will expire and the room is offered for another booking.
