The University Library will open 150 learning places for TU students and members of the TU from Monday to Friday from 09:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., taking into account infection and hygiene protection measures. In order to use the learning places, it is mandatory to register for library use. In order to be able to grant you access to the learning places, a personal registration is necessary.
Please understand that this may result in waiting times. Please note our important information in the FAQ.
To gain access to the study areas, it is mandatory to wear a mouth-nose cover. This can be taken off at the place of learning.
Please keep a minimum distance of 2 metres in all library areas.
All measures serve both your and our employees' protection.

Securing the information supply

All digital media of the UB Braunschweig are available to TU members and members of the TU as usual. Access can often be granted via Shibboleth and where not possible via VPN. In addition to electronic publications, numerous databases are accessible worldwide, regardless of location.
Please also note our possibilities for access to digital media.
For media that are not digitally available, you can submit an acquisition proposal. For media that are available in printed form but cannot be borrowed at present, we are considering the acquisition as an e-book.
For research and teaching only we offer to buy single books which cannot be acquired in digital form and send them to you in short time. Please submit also acquisition proposal. Please note that this service is only for subjects of research and teaching and not for students, assistants and external teachers.
