The branch library

Together with the Faculty of Visual Design, we use the room I.2.11 in the Institute Building for accommodating the branch library on Sanderheinrichsleitenweg. Students of the Faculty of Computer Science and Business Information Systems can make use of about 1,500 books and 50 periodicals in the non-lending collection.

Using the branch library

During opening hours, the room of the branch library can be used as study room. Some of the approximately 12 desks have monitors with laptop connections. Power supply is available at every seat. 

Please note that the room is not suitable for group work. Like in all libraries, a quiet working atmosphere is to be ensured. 

Book scanner

A powerful book scanner is available in our branch library. You can use it to manually scan pages from library books, but also your own books. The images can be sent by e-mail. Please note the information on copyright law provided at the book scanner.
