Special Locations
Course Reserve Collections
Upon your request, we set up course reserve collections with literature for individual courses at the start of the lecture period.
In Catalogue PLUS, the media are listed with the location " Course Reserve Collections". In order to give everyone equal access to this literature, they cannot be borrowed, but are available in the library for reading and scanning. In many cases, a short loan to seminar participants is possible.
In your library, you will find the course reserve collections on separate shelves. The name of the course reserve collection is shown in the shelfmark.

Lab Reserve Collections
For a laboratory or research project, employees can set up a lab reserve collection.
In order to ensure that the media contained in the lab reserve collection can still be found, the name of the lab reserve collection as well as the head of the lab will be displayed in Catalogue PLUS.
If you are interested in a media item that is currently in a lab reserve collection, please do not hesitate to talk to us in the library.
