Using the library
Here you can find initial information on using the Central Library and the subject libraries at Freie Universität.
Registration and library card
Your campuscard is also your library card and can be used in the university libraries.
If you are employed by Freie Universität Berlin, you can generate a library card for employees via the ZEDAT portal (see Bibliotheken).
Borrow and order
The circulation desks are responsible for all services related to lending. This includes borrowing and providing media, returning items, extending loan periods and resolving problems.
Orders can be placed in the Primo library portal. Under the menu item “My account”, your borrowed, ordered, provided and reserved media from the university libraries are displayed, as well as interlibrary loans, fees and personal data.
To get to know the University Library with its various locations, you can take part in a library tour. Organized library tours take place regularly in the Central Library or your subject library. The dates can be found on the websites of the University Library with its various locations.
