Notes

If you need high-quality printouts, for example for presentations or your final thesis, we recommend that you contact professional companies (e.g. copy shops).
Payment Station
A payment station for cashless payment of your library fees (e.g. late fees and printing fees) is available in our libraries Eupener Str, Bayernallee,, Jülich and in study room 3205 at Goethestraße. Your PIN is preset to your date of birth DDMM and can be changed at your own discretion in your user account.
