Media from the open access holdings and the magazine (incl. non-books) can be borrowed for 4 weeks. Audio CDs and CD-ROMs are available at the counter.

You can renew borrowed media independently up to 5 times for a further 4 weeks in your user account, provided they are not reserved by other users.

The presence inventory is marked as such with a yellow sticker and cannot be borrowed, as it must be available for inspection on site at all times.

A shelfmark is a universal system for classifying media to higher-level subject disciplines.

You can recognize a book from this collection by the following shelfmark:
BWL 20-1/4

• "BWL 20" → stands for the number of the upper group.
• "1" → stands for the place where the book you are looking for is located within the group
• "4" → means that the book is in the inventory more than once

Overview boards are located on the front sides of the shelves.
