Open Library

Open Library enables university members to access library sites beyond regular opening hours. This service exists for the locations at Witzenhausen and Wilhelmshöher Allee.

The respective campus card will be activated for the use of Open Library upon application.

An extension after the end of the semester is obligatory for further use and can be applied for online.
