Borrowing digital media
About the eLibrary you can access non-fiction and audio books, novels, newspapers, magazines, e-learning courses, films and music online with a check-out period of one hour to three weeks.
You can borrow media around the clock, whether you are at home or on the move. All you need is access to the Internet and a valid library card. It can be used on various devices such as computers, mobile devices and e-book readers - also via an app for Android and iOS.
The Onleihe has no overdue fines: Once the loan period has expired, the file can no longer be opened. The "return" is therefore automatic. You can find the Onleihe help pages here.
Movie streaming
Filmfriend is a streaming service for libraries that offers German classics, documentaries, children's series as well as selected international productions.
You can also watch all films on your TV via Apple AirPlay or Google Chromecast.

Newspapers, business information and more
The GENIOS eBIB platform gives you access to over 420 daily and weekly newspapers as well as 400 exciting video courses and comprehensive business information. Benefit from daily updated content and a section with valuable press archives.
Simply log in in your browser with your library card number and password.
After logging in, you will receive a day pass that is valid until the end of the calendar day. This allows you to read around 20 to 30 articles with full access. Once the volume has been used up, a new pass will be available the next day.
Another important note: the service is available to regional users. Members of the university use our WISO database for business information.
