FAQ: Special Conditions for University Staff

All university staff will benefit from special conditions for library use via their CampusCard library account.

Guidelines for the use of library services with the CampusCard for university staff

University staff have a loan period of 3 years. After three years, you will be reminded to return the media. If you still need the media and are unable to return it, it will be automatically renewed once for a further three years.
If a medium you have borrowed is reserved, it is no longer possible to extend the loan period. The loan period will be set to 28 days from this point and you will receive an e-mail reminder.

If you still have an University account and also an employee number, you are still considered a member of staff and you can use your CampusCard with the special conditions.

If you no longer have a valid University account, you are considered a so-called "regional user" by the library.
As a regional user, no special conditions apply, the loan period for media is usually 28 days with the option of renewing the media 11 times via your online user account.
If you do not yet have a CampusCard, you are welcome to apply for one: https://www.uni-kassel.de/ub/en/borrowing/library-card.html

Please return all borrowed items, pay any outstanding debts and close your interlibrary loan account at the library before you leave the University.

In individual cases, collective authorizations can be issued that allow other people to access a library account. Please contact one of our service desks for more information.
