With our terms and conditions of use we want to contribute to establishing equal studying conditions for students with a disability or a chronic illness. In justified individual cases, all terms may be granted also to external library users.
Access
The entrance to the library is located on the ground floor. The access to the two upper floors of the library is possible via a wheelchair-suited lift equipped with a voice announcing the different floors.
Searching for information
In the gallery on the mezzanine floor you find low table computer workstations that are suited for wheel chair use and that are equipped with access to our online catalogue and our databases. Gladly we will assist you in researching. The information service has been expanded with a chat service (in addition to our on-site, phone and email services) and digital event formats. The library makes information materials available online via the moodle learning platform.
How to get the desired items?
Sometimes it is not possible to suit yourself to a book because of high shelves and the narrow shelf placement. In this case our staff at the service desk will help you. The desired items are then placed ready for you to borrow or for reference use. The library has a book scanner located on the ground floor, that is accessible for people on wheels. We will give you assistance whenever you want to copy, scan and print media.
