Please note that the general rules regarding hygiene and distancing must be observed to protect both visitors and staff. These are the most important rules:

  • Wearing a face mask is mandatory for all visitors
  • Only a limited number of visitors are allowed in the library at any time. Therefore, staying in the library is limited to a maximum of 30 minutes and restricted to returning and checking out media
  • Please keep a distance of 1.5 to 2 meters from other persons

Do I have to wear a mask hen visiting the library?
It is mandatory for all visitors to wear a mask in the library and the institute, and to comply with the distancing rules.
 

 

Can I read newspapers and magazines in the library?
To comply with the current rules, especially with regard to distance, only a limited number of persons will be able to enter the library at the same time. Therefore, to protect our staff, we are currently not able to provide any offers that would encourage a longer stay.
 

 

Can I use the PCs in the library for research?
To minimize the length of stay in the library and to comply with the hygiene requirements, it is temporarily not possible to use the PCs.
 

 

Can I use a work station in the library?
For the time being, there are no work stations available in the library. Moreover, longer periods of stay in the library are currently not envisaged.

We currently offer our consulting service for research inquiries and databases by phone or via Zoom. Please send your inquiries by e-mail to Roswitha.Degenhard@dai-tuebingen.de

No late- or reminder fees have been charged since 03-16-2020. Reminders were sent out for media that were due before 03-14-2020. These fees are legitimate and you can pay them after returning the media. As long as you pay these fees by 05-22-2020, there will be no further late fees.
 

 

 

 

NEW!

Order media before your visit to the library:

Due to the number of visitors being limited, media can be ordered for check-out in advance. Please contact us by telephone (07071/79526-16) or by e-mail (Bibliothek@dai-tuebingen.de) and let us know which media you would like to check out (exact title and author). Please don’t forget to communicate your name and library card number.

You can use the online catalog to get further information on media and their availability.

Please give us one day to get your media ready for check-out; we will then reserve them for three days, and you can pick them up at the circulation desk. Please remember to bring your library card.

 

We are looking forward to your visit!
