• Your identity card or passport with a confirmation of registration from the residents' registration office (registration certificate), which must not be older than 1 year, or another valid official identity document with photo and address details.

Each card must be activated once before it can be used for the first time. This can be done on the login page of the catalogue via 'Activate account now'.

• Change password
  You can access your library account via the University Library catalogue and change your password under the menu item 'My account'.

Please have your new address updated in the library at the desk of the Local Lending Department . You can change your e-mail address in the library account via the library catalogue.

If you lose your library card, please always inform the staff of the library's Local Lending Department immediately so that your library account can (initially) be blocked to prevent misuse by third parties. If you have lost your library card or it is damaged, you can have a new card issued for a fee.
