Self-checkout
Borrowing media
To borrow media, we offer you two self-checkout devices.
Before borrowing, please check the media for any damage and/or any inserts (e.g. CDs). If an item is damaged or the specified insert is missing, please contact the library staff.
Please place items onto the panel for checkout individually and one by one. If a title is highlighted in red in the title list, an error has occurred during the checkout process. Please contact the library staff in this case, as well as if any other technical problems should occur.
Borrowing media using a „Vollmacht“ (= warrant) is not possible at the self-checkout devices. The library card is required. If you like to borrow media using a „Vollmacht“, please contact the library staff at the circulation desk.
You can switch the language settings to English by clicking the corresponding icon. Click the button “Check-out” and hold your library card towards the area illuminated in green marked with the RFID symbol to log in.
Place the items you want to borrow on the backlit glass panel on the left side where a barcode is displayed one by one. Wait for the title of the item you want to borrow to be highlighted in green in the title list (confirmation for loan).
You can then remove the borrowed item and, if necessary, continue borrowing other items in the same way. You can exit the process by clicking "Finished".
A receipt for the loan will automatically be sent to the e-mail address that is connected to your library account.
Further Tips:
Returning media
You cannot return media using the self-checkout devices. Returns must be made at the circulation desk.
