To borrow media during unstaffed hours, we offer you two self-checkout devices.
You cannot return media using the self-checkout device. To return media during unstaffed hours, we offer you a return box. Please note that the returning of media via the return box will only be processed on the next business day (Monday through Friday, except for on public holidays). When time sensitive returns are involved, for example in order to avoid being charged reminder fees in case of late returns, please contact the library staff instead. The return box is accessible during the opening hours of the building.

Self-checkout
Borrowing media
To borrow media, we offer you two self-checkout devices.
You can find your orders in the pick-up shelf next to the self-checkout devices. Media is sorted according to the first three letters of your family name and the last four digits of your library user number, e.g. MUS0618.
Click the button “Check-out” and hold up your library card towards the area marked with the RFID symbol for login. Place the items you want to borrow on the backlit glass panel one by one and wait for the title of the items to be highlighted in green in the title list. A receipt for the loan will be sent to the e-mail address that is connected to your library account, as soon as you exit the process by clicking “Finished”.
