Library account

For the use of the KIM Library, you need a library card and a library account. 
You do not need to apply for these separately. Your Employee Card also serves as your library card. Your information will be automatically imported into the library system, and a library account will be created for you.

If you do not have an Employee Card, a paper library card can be issued for borrowing materials from the library. To do so, please contact the circulation counter at the Central Library.

A non-personal department account can be set up for inter-library loan functions for the different university departments (see “Fachgebietskonto”). Inter-library loan fees for these accounts are settled annually by KIM via internal billing with the department.

Functions of the library account

  • Overview of all media on loan
  • Renewal of the loan period
  • View your reservations and online orders (inter-library loan requests and orders from the external stacks).
  • View your overdue notices and other notifications
  • View the address saved for your account 
  • Reserve media on loan
  • Submit inter-library loan requests
