All books and media available in the library can be found here, whether printed or digital:
This is our library catalog. In addition you can also find the book collections of other 澳门现金网_澳门赌博现金网-官网 libraries or you can search for articles.
On the ground floor and on the first floor you can find current books classified by subject. We offer important textbooks several times and/or as e-books. We also collect bachelor and master theses on our repository.
We show you how to find literature in our catalog and on the shelf on the learning platform moodle:
You can easily take (almost) all of our books off the shelf and borrow them and return them later using our self-check system. The loan period is four weeks. You can renew the loan period up to three times after that (if nobody else reserves the book).
Before borrowing for the first time you need to activate your HCU-card as a library card. Please fill out the form on our website. Then present your identity card (or passport plus registration of residence “Meldebescheinigung”) and HCU-card to us at the service desk. Alternatively, you can send us a scan of your identity card and your HCU card (front and back). Please use your HCU email address for this purpose.
We are showing you on the learning platform moodle how to registrate via the website and how to use the library account:
You can access our licensed e-books, e-journals and databases within the HCU network. If you want to get access from outside, you have to login via VPN or Shibboleth. You simply need your HCU ID and password.
