All about lending

To view our inventory, please use our Catalog Plus.

There are four ways to use our media:

• Ordering via our catalog
• Searching and browsing on the shelf
• Borrowing e-media (via the Onleihe)
• Reading e-media (members of the HSRM with VPN access from home, regional users via the Internet PCs in the libraries)

Check-out period

The check-out period is usually four weeks, for some types of media two weeks. If media are not returned or extended on time, anoverdue fine will be charged(overview of fees).

Extending the loan period

Media with a check-out period of four weeks can be renewed online up to five times, while media with a check-out period of two weeks can be renewed once via the library staff.

Borrowed items can be returned at all five library locations.

Please use the return shelves at the Bertramstraße, Kurt-Schumacher-Ring and Rheinstraße locations. At the Rüsselsheim and Unter den Eichen locations, items are returned at the self-checkout terminals.

If a medium is on loan, a reservation can be entered. To do this, you must

• search for the title in the Plus catalog,
• click on "Reserve" and
• enter your user number and password.
