Learning & Working in the Library

The University Library offers study space for more than 900 people, study room for groups, individual study carrels, WiFi via eduroam as well as printers, copying machines and scanners.

Our study room for groups on the 3rd floor gives students the opportunity to work in groups and not disturb the other students in the reading rooms.
Additionally, students can use our 15 individual study carrels. If you are interested in booking a carrel, please fill out this form and inquire at the Circulation Desk.

We also offer computers with internet access and graphic programmes (on the ground as well as first and second floor). To use these computers, log in with your ID number and password and you can surf the internet for 10 hours per week.

These programmes are installed on the computers:

• Microsoft Office Standard 2019, Libre Office
• Acrobat Reader und Acrobat Pro
• VLC Media Player
• Adobe Photoshop Elements (first floor and last two rows on ground floor)

To use the lockers on the ground floor, go to the Circulation Desk or Freihandverbuchung and loan a locker key. This locker will then be available to you for one day. A few lockers can be used with 2€ coins instead of a key.
If you need a locker for more than a day: Unifach offers them for one semester.

The library also provides copying machines, scanners (DIN A4 to Din A2) as well as printers. Print cards as well as USB flash drives can be purchased at the Circulation Desk.

The printing services offered by the Gauß-IT center can also be used in the library through one of their printers. Information on how to install the printing software required can be found here. Students of TU Braunschweig have a credit of 15 € per semester.

Microfilms and microfiche
The library offers a microfilm und microfiche scanner which you can use to enlarge microforms. This scanner is located in the so called Sonderleseraum beside the Circulation Desk. Scans can be sent via e-mail oder saved to a USB flash drive.
