Workstations for HSU students

Upon request, HSU students can get their own workstation in the library.

The workstations are located in the WiSo I, GeiSo I and MB/ET I sections and can be booked for a period of 14 – 120 days. They are equipped with sockets, USB slots, lamps and a rolling file cabinet for storing personal items.

A large pc screen is available as add-on or via a separate order in Anny.

Information and regulations

All booked workstations are provided with an attendance record and are to be used only by the person who booked the workstation. Free workstations without attendance record can be used by all (even non-HSU members).

Location

Universitätsbibliothek (Univeristy Library), GeiSo I and WiSo I sections (2nd floor) and MB/ET I section (1st floor).
Period of use

The workstation can be booked for 14 – 120 days. Use the cancellation function for earlier cancellation. Extension of the period of use cannot be made. Another booking can, however, be made outside the booking period.
Stamping obligation

Every 7 days, the attendance record must be confirmed with a stamp by the library staff or guard service. In case of absence (e.g. illness, leave), the library staff must be informed in good time. If the stamp is not provided in good time, the workstation will be cleared and made available to the next student.
Personal items

Personal items can also be locked there. All books that are allocated to your library account can be locked in the rolling file cabinet. This is not permitted for perishable items.

Books at the workstation

Books that you use for a longer period of time may only be left on the desk if they have been allocated to the workstation by the library staff. This ensures that in case of loss students are not liable for the books lying around on the desk. Books that cannot be borrowed or trimester-specific reference items/documents are to be returned to the respective location at the end of the day.
Optaining a workstation

HSU students will be notified by email of the successful assignment of workstations. You have two days from the beginning of the period of use to gain your access to the workstation at the information desk of the university library on the 2nd floor. If access is not gained during this period, the booking will be cancelled and the workstation made available to other students.

You will receive an automatic reminder one day before the start of the booking period. This can be adjusted manually. Your bookings can be cancelled at any time. Only one study desk can be booked per booking period.
Guidelines

All regulations are included in the “rules for the use of workstations”.
